Essential improvements

Linux version[citation needed]

On GOG.com's Linux version the start.sh located in the install directory has to be modified to access the launcher. In the script there's an option to edit how the game is launched. Look for default() { and change the lower line run_game to run_settings. After that the game launcher starts as default, but it can be changed back.
