Take note that the save files for Retail version can appear in two different folders. These files and locations are not interchangeable (i.e. the files from AppData do not load correctly if pasted into the Program Files location and vice versa).

Widescreen resolution
- This fix works only for versions 1.2 and 1.3. This will NOT work for Steam version because it is patched to 1.51. You can still use this fix and get game run in your native resolution, but game will be in 4:3 with black bars on sides.

Anti-aliasing (AA)
- Forcing AA will render fonts blurry and harder to read.
- Forcing AA via graphics driver will result in greater AA. INI fix is probably only 2x AA.
