Texture Corruption

The game displays texture corruption on modern systems, causing textures to appear warped, shifted and completely out of place (e.g. trees being plastered with a window or wall texture). It has something to do with the game improper manipulation of non-power of 2 textures as explained in this thread.
Use dege's modified executable.[2]
