Incorrect shadows and reflections

Nvidia videocards will always suffer from performance issues with this.
On non-GOG.com releases, modern GPUs can cause in-game shadows and reflections on shiny surfaces (i.e. windows, car bodies, etc.) to be rendered incorrectly. However, this can be fixed if you use WineD3D (see comparison image).
