Issues fixed
Running on modern hardware
The first issue is an OpenGL-related crash after starting the program. For those with Nvidia hardware, this can be fixed by downloading Nvidia Inspector and setting the Extension Limit to 0x00001B58. This will also allow you to choose 'Shader Mode 2.0++', which is otherwise locked out.
The second issue related to twitching movement with the mouse, and in conjunction with this strange accelerated movement when turning the view. A workaround for this is connecting a 360 (or similar) controller, and configuring that for in-game use as opposed to a mouse.
