Issues fixed

Crash after video finishes on newer systems than Windows XP

Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3

Stuttering when going up or down slopes/inclines

Open the 'settings' file located inside the game's directory and turn VSync on
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open settings with a text editor. Change "render_vsync" "0.00000" to "render_vsync" "1.000000". Notes Turning Vsync on also seems to fix ragdolling issues.
