Essential improvements
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.

- The save directory can be changed from current directory, if a file
%WINDIR%\Bloodline.iniexists (or its virtualized version%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Windows\Bloodline.ini). This file is being created and used by "Unofficial patch" (not to be confused with Sui's Fix) and due to game's tenancy to corrupt file paths, it's highly advised not to use this patch, especially with elevated privileges![1]

Issues unresolved
Loadings take absurd amount of time / poor performance
This issues seem to be partially related to how the game was coded (running mainly using one thread) and most likely can't be fixed without access to original source code.[1]
Issues fixed
Running the game breaks down start bar / explorer.exe
| Use Sui's Fix[1] |

The game creates seemingly random folders inside and outside of its directory
