Issues fixed

Crash at startup/New game/Prologue or Cutscenes Looping

On newer machines, the game may crash if no intro movie is available and/or when starting a new game/selecting the "Prologue" mission. Those crashes may be related to the DirectX renderer.
Fixing DirectX Crash[3]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Hunted\DFGame\Config\DFEngine.ini
  2. Locate the option AllowD3D10=False and change to True
  3. Save the changes and exit.
