Key points

- Rune Classic (Steam and GOG.com) does not support third-party renderers. Default Direct3D renderer it uses runs badly on Windows 8 and 8.1; see low frame-rate fix to address the frame-rate problem.

Essential improvements
Modifications
Unreal Engine Direct3D 9 Renderer
- The Unreal Engine Direct3D 9 renderer is a simple DirectX 9 renderer for Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, and Rune that allow these games to have better compatibility on modern operating system. It also has some extra graphical enhancement options such as anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, gamma correction, and V-sync.
Unreal Engine Direct3D 10 Renderer
- The Unreal Engine Direct3D 10 Renderer is a renderer for Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex and Rune that aims to provide a good, consistent looking and future-proof renderer for these games. The focus is not on fancy effects; the idea is to have something that will allow these games to perform well and look good on modern systems.
