Issues fixed
Fix jittery shadows on Direct3D (Z-fighter bug)
- Running the game on Direct3D will cause some minor graphical glitches such as jittery shadows, etc. due to a programming quirk of the game selecting the lowest Z-fighting value. This can be fixed with a simple modification of the exe using a hex editor. You can see a demonstration on this episode of Ross' Game Dungeon.
