Issues fixed

Crashes on systems with AMD CPUs

Replace 3DNow-specific DLLs with basic SSE versions

Forces the game to use SSE/MMX code paths instead of the deprecated 3D Now! instruction paths.

Copy files from <path-to-game>\Run\platforms\SSE2 to <path-to-game>\Run\platforms\3DNow_SSE overriding existing ones.

White dots appear randomly

This happens when Texture Filtering is set to Anisotropic, doesn't matter in what multiplier.

Set Texture Filtering to either Bilinear or Trilinear^[3]
