-[http://www.moddb.com/mods/drakan-10th-anniversary Drakan 10th Anniversary] - A beta mod to enable DX9 shaders for Drakan. Extract Mod10th folder from the installer using [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip] and put it in your Drakan folder, then inside Mod10th folder, create folders prebuffs\data and textures\dump, then finally make a shortcut to Drakan 10th Anniversary.exe. Installing it regularly overwrites localized language files and replaces game executables with old buggy ones.
