Sui's Fix
Fix aimed primarily at fixing issues, with the game breaking explorer.exe. In addition, allows to correct camera aspect ratio (for widescreen resolutions) and override functions that change resolution.

---|
A workaround is to move all files inside Texture subfolders to Czech folder and then delete everything inside Texture folder besides two font files. After that the loading times should be reduced from 1-3 minutes to 10-30 seconds. This works because the game doesn't seem to know where the relevant graphical files for the maps are stored and it does a full brute-force search for them. This workaround should work with every version of the game.
A simple way to do all the required actions is to create a .bat file inside Bloodline folder with following commands (supported by every Windows version) and run it:
@echo off if exist Bloodline.exe ( for /r "%%cd%%\Textures" %%f in (*) do move "%%f" "czech\" cd Textures\ rd /s /q . 2>nul copy "..\czech\font.jpf" copy "..\czech\font.tga" echo "Success!" ) else ( echo "This is not a Bloodline folder!" ) pause
