  • Fix visual artifacts for bumpmaps on NVIDIA GPUs when launching from SWRepublicCommando.exe

This is a hotfix for the previous release that reintroduced bump map artifacts on NVIDIA GPUs. You don't need it if you have an Intel or AMD gaphics card.

The issue was caused by the NVIDIA driver automatically applying a compatibility fix when it detects that the game exe is called "SWRepublicCommando.exe". This workaround prevents the original game from crashing, but causes the texture artifacts.

Renaming the executable avoids the NVIDIA driver workaround, resulting in correct visuals with this mod or a crash without it.

This update adds an NVIDIA-specific workaround that fixes the issue regardless of the executable name.
