Issues unresolved

Extremely low performance
- On many configurations, the game performs badly. One way to improve the performance a bit is to enable Force Object LOD in game's launcher - this however comes at the cost of poor model quality. The game's performance can be further increased to constant 60 FPS by using dgVoodoo 2, but it doesn't work correctly with widescreen.
