Changelog of patch 1.0.2

This patch brings the application up to version 1.0.2. The following issues have been addressed:

Fixed a memory leak that would lead to degradation of the game performance over time.

Saved game files are now saved in the users My Documents folder, allowing the game to function properly for a Limited Access user account. However, if the game has been run prior to this patch, the saved games will still be saved in the Stubbs program folder.

Fixed audio and video stutter in the intro and final credit videos.

Fixed a crash that would occur when changing the EAX Advanced HD option from YES to NO.

Screen saver should no longer interrupt the game when playing with a gamepad.

Added an option to start the game in "safemode". Safemode starts the game in 640x480 at 60Hz. This is useful if you experience video problems associated with Stubbs defaulting to an unusable refresh rate on your monitor. If this happens, start the game in safemode (using the Start Menu), go to the Settings -> Video Setup screen, and select the Resolution and Refresh Rate you want to use. The next time you start the game normally, your new choices will be used.
