Comments:
- Interlacing Mode: Bob tff
The game is extremely GPU intensive, If having low FPS, try running in native resolution mode, scaling also creates tiling in the GUI and purple haze around GUI objects. DX10 mode fixes some UI problems such as the map and the levels introduction text.

Comments: There is color dithering in menu (triangle button) in city, it's caused by No Target Resolving. But without NTR city persons become ugly. Hack comments: No Target Resolving should be on
