- **fixed** — Fixed a regression that would cause MSAA resolves to look like MSAA was not working in a number of D3D9 games
- **changed** — Improved performance in some D3D9 games by avoiding unnecessary render pass barriers
- **fixed** — Fixed the way tessellation factors are interpreted for line tessellation
- **added** — Added the d3d9.modeCountCompatibility configuration option to work around buffer overflows in older games that do not expect monitors to support more than ~16 different display modes
- **fixed** — Worked around a crash on start in Alone in the Dark
- **fixed** — Worked around an issue in Comanche 4 where the in-game anti-aliasing option would only be exposed on certain GeForce4 Ti GPUs
- **changed** — Removed GPU vendor override in Crysis 3 to work around an issue where the game wouldn't start after recent EA app updates
- **fixed** — Fixed a regression in Dungeon Siege 2 that would cause character models to not show in the menu
- **fixed** — Worked around poor CPU-bound performance in Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
- **added** — Added vendor override in Fallout New Vegas to work around an issue with the FNV Reloaded mod using an unimplemented NVAPI function on Nvidia GPUs
- **fixed** — Added 60 FPS cap in Guilty Gear to work around the game speeding up at higher frame rates
- **fixed** — Added 60 FPS cap in PsiOps to work around broken physics at higher frame rates
- **fixed** — Worked around a rendering issue in Scarface caused by breaking changes in D3D9 API behaviour
- **fixed** — Fixed an MSAA-related rendering issue in Team Fortress 2
- **fixed** — Added 300 FPS cap in The Witcher 1 to work around a game issue where Geralt's hair would not render properly in the inventory menu

##### Bug fixes and Improvements
- Fixed a regression that would cause MSAA resolves to look like MSAA was not working in a number of D3D9 games.
- Improved performance in some D3D9 games by avoiding unnecessary render pass barriers, such as **Dead Space 2** (PR #5112).
- Fixed the way tessellation factors are interpreted for line tessellation. This fixes particle rendering in **DCS World** and potentially other issues. (#4327)
- Added the `d3d9.modeCountCompatibility` configuration option to work around buffer overflows in older games that do not expect monitors to support more than ~16 different display modes. This fixes a crash in **AquaNox 2**.
- **Alone in the Dark**: Worked around a crash on start. (PR #5158)
- **Comanche 4**: Worked around an issue where the in-game anti-aliasing option would only be exposed on certain GeForce4 Ti GPUs.
- **Crysis 3**: Removed GPU vendor override to work around an issue where the game wouldn't start after recent EA app updates.
  Note that this change may cause a noticeable performance regression on AMD systems due to less efficient code paths in the game.
- **Dungeon Siege 2**: Fixed a regression that would cause character models to not show in the menu. (#5175)
- **Everybody's Gone to the Rapture**: Worked around poor CPU-bound performance. (PR #5168)
- **Fallout New Vegas**: Added vendor override to work around an issue with the FNV Reloaded mod using an unimplemented NVAPI function on Nvidia GPUs. (PR #5136)
- **Guilty Gear**: Added 60 FPS cap to work around the game speeding up at higher frame rates. (#5142, PR #5143)
- **PsiOps**: Added 60 FPS cap to work around broken physics at higher frame rates. (PR #5145)
- **Scarface**: Worked around a rendering issue caused by breaking changes in D3D9 API behaviour.
- **Team Fortress 2**: Fixed an MSAA-related rendering issue. (#5119, PR #5132)
- **The Witcher 1**: Added 300 FPS cap to work around a game issue where Geralt's hair would not render properly in the inventory menu.
- **Top Spin 2004**: Fixed a memory leak as well as rendering issues. (PR #5155)
