ZolikaPatch
- Adds borderless windowed, fixes the HUD and FOV on widescreen resolutions, remove the FPS cap and forced Vsync, and more.
- Doesn't work in Zoom Platform or GOG.com release.
- Uncapping the frame rate can cause minor issues with car engine sounds. Very high frame rate makes car deform more easily.
