Notes
- All visual settings can be turned on except for Colored Cursors, which crashes the game.

Colored cursor fix
- Made obsolete by Dark Omen Mod Pack.
Colored cursors fix[citation needed]
|
- Download the fixed files.
- Copy files to
<path-to-game>\Graphics\Cursors and overwrite all.
Notes
- Make sure the colored cursors are 'off' in the graphics menu, as that settings crashes the game. This is a workaround of that crash that enables the colored cursors to work.
