It plays at 60 FPS while keeping menus and loading screens at the original 30, supports supersampling, anisotropic filtering and FXAA, and comes with a launcher that installs the game from your ISO, handles settings, patches and save backups, adds the game to Steam and updates itself. There are builds for CPUs without AVX2.
