Issues fixed

Can't recover password/account details (bug: emails not being sent)

In 2008, Novalogic updated their website. Sadly however, this caused few minor glitches on DFBHD websites that in-game browser is using.

Instructions

Anti-aliasing option is disabled

On some configurations, option for full screen anti-aliasing is disabled. There isn't a known fix for it. Only alternative is forcing different AA settings from graphics card control panel.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/32670/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (32670) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
