Issues fixed

Uneven/poor performance

Install a wrapper^[2]
Download a modified DDraw wrapper and extract it. Copy aqrit.cfg and ddraw.dll to a folder where you have installed the game. If you're using Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 start the game with DxWnd (can be set to fullscreen). See Windowed.

Replace English fonts^{[citation needed]}
Download the GOG German Fonts and extract it. Copy the files into the Data\Interface\Fonts folder contained where the game is installed. There is a bug inside the English font set which may hamper performance. Alternatively, you can use this fix with font files from any non-english localization.
