Notes

This fix causes some minor graphical issues with buildings that are far away. It also causes some moves like Multi Launcher not working, as well as issues with disarming bombs: Unscrewing the front plate with the controller's right stick becomes difficult, but you can use the mouse as a workaround.
It is important to keep the backup as this fix breaks a couple of missions. You will need to use the capped backup for these missions:
  • Mad Bomber mission 3 - Kicking bombs into the ocean doesn't work because they explode in mid-air.
  • Dragon Tail mission 2 - Stopping the helicopter from dropping doesn't work because it drops too quickly to stop.
