Other notes:
[*]Use clean install, don't use old Q2XP paks or game config!!!
[*]Win8 users with Creative Audigy or X-Fi cards should use software OpenAL audio device (select in options menu)
[*]New build is very hard for video cards. Use geforce 660Ti or higher class cards with 2GB VRam (for 1080p with max engine settings).
[*]Engine can work in simple mode (radiosity normal mapping + dynamic & styled lights only). For this mode set lightmap & specular multipliers to 1.0 (r_lightmapScale & r_ambientSpecularScale cvars correspondingly). For PPL mode, set to 0.5 & 0.3.
[*]The Reckoning has new lightmaps only, no retexture or relight.
[*]SSAO crush after video restart. Restart engine for fix
