Additional Comments
Works out of the box without any glitches or crashes, as long as you use the software rendered version.
If you run the executable with the
/allres
switch, you will be able to choose all available resolutions in the graphics options menu. I was able to get the game running at 1080p, while 1440p caused crashes. The game looks best at 1280x720 in my opinion anyway.
