Essential improvements
- Fixes the "Failed to initialize DirectX" error, forces the game to run in HD 32 bit color depth, and adds full compatibility with XInput controllers, among other things.
- Translates BH2 SourceNext into English, adds support for higher resolutions, XInput, fixes some lag issues on Win10, and restores some missing audio tracks. It also provides extended mod support.

Issues fixed
"Failed to initialize DirectX" error
Black screen when playing cutscenes
This is generally caused by DirectShow codecs on Windows 10 being incompatible with Nvidia desktop drivers. Versions such as Windows XP do have the codecs to run the cutscenes with no issues.
Gemini's patch makes FMV work again by replacing DirectShow with FFMPEG.
