Issues fixed

3D Acceleration Not Supported error on modern versions of Windows

Fixes 3D acceleration, improves performance and allows support for higher resolutions.
Install the Bejeweled 3 patch[2]
  1. Download the Bejeweled 3 patch here
  2. Open the .zip file and open the bejeweled-3 folder.
  3. Extract the relevant folder of the edition (Steam, Origin, PopCap) of the game to <path-to-game>.
  4. Copy the Bejeweled3-nosig+vmem+vcard.exe and compat.cfg to <path-to-game>.
  5. Rename the .exe file to Bejeweled3.exe.
  6. Run the game and enable 3D acceleration. Change the resolution as desired.

Notes

If 3D acceleration still refuses to be enabled, run the included Test3D-clean.reg file.
The original .exe for Bejeweled 3 is included as a backup if something breaks.
