Issues fixed
Bad performance, low FPS, laggy gameplay
- This performance issue can occur with newer graphics cards supporting OpenGL 4.0 and newer, it is most common on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Since the game is based on the Quake 3 engine and is using the same or a similar OpenGL version, the graphics card driver will handle the game correctly if it thinks that it is Quake 3.
