Graphical Tweaks
Unreal Engine DirectX 11 Renderer
- A fork of Kentie's Direct3D 10 renderer that adds more graphical features.
- Runs the game in widescreen resolutions.
- Improved lighting.
- Adds ambient occlusion, screen-space reflections, and higher quality HDR post-processing.
- As of December 30, 2020, the latest Unreal DirectX11 Renderer has ended support for this game[3]. The last supported version is 1.6.1.
- Places a temporary watermark in the bottom right, and copies the developers PayPal link to your clipboard. Follow these instructions to disable the watermark and remove the PayPal link from being inserted into your clipboard.
| Disable DirectX 11 renderer's PayPal watermark and disable the link from being copied into the clipboard. |
