What this mod does:
- Fixes haloing, lights, shadows & NPC outlines

- Adds an auto-convergence feature when traversing the world map. (If you want to customize this convergence setting, press the 'X' key and adjust the convergence to your liking. Press 'F7' to save & restart the game for the change to take effect.)

      1. Hi. Not sure what the issue could be. Ensure the fix is installed in the right directory "..\Hard West\64\ ".
        Also, for Windows 7 & 8: In the NVIDIA Control Panel, where it says "Select when the display is in 3D mode", ensure that "Only when full-screen 3D programs run" is NOT selected.

        I tested this fix on Windows 7 x64, Geforce drivers 364.51.
