Issues fixed

Alternative workaround for low FPS

There are three ways of fixing the problem:

  • Use the DirectDraw/DirectX wrapper method mentioned above previously.
  • Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
  • Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.
