Issues fixed

Slow loading level and aero disabling

Occurs only on Windows Vista and Windows 7, because of the special graphic stack WDDM.

Install game only on Windows XP, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10
Notes Using Windows 8.1 or 10 significantly reduces the launch time of the level, perhaps this is due to improvements in the WDDM graphics stack.

Control key settings are not assigned

Keyboard settings reset to unassigned when restarting the game.

Run game as administrator

Soft Shadows not working

Soft Shadows not working despite the setting being enabled.

Disable anti-aliasing in the game options
Notes This is due to the features of the engine and the artificial limitation of the simultaneous use of anti-aliasing with soft shadows, since they can cause graphic artifacts on the shadows.
