Issues unresolved
High Framerate Damage Bug
When playing the game at framerates above 60 fps, sometimes when dealing multiple hits, the game will apply many more hits, dealing a large amount of damage.[10][11]
- Limit FPS to 60 via drivers, or via RTSS, or turn on VSYNC if using a 60 Hz monitor.
Black Screen at Start or after using Alt-Tab
This bug might happen when using Full Screen mode.[12]
- Switch to Borderless Windowed in game options.
Game Crashes at Start Up When HQ Texture Pack is Installed
For the GOG version, if the user has a drive assigned to the letter F:\, the game will crash. Change the drive letter as a workaround for this issue.[13]

It greatly improves graphical quality options, increases performance stability, improves mouse/keyboard controls, fixes several bugs, and has an experimental bonus feature that I don't think anyone expected (including people involved with the project!): local coop!"
