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.
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.
