Updated.
Don't forget to grab latest patch.

Regarding the removal of DirectX:
Removing DirectX from the game meant we had to redo the Rendering, Sound, Text & Input. We now use cross-platform technology for that (but DR is still far from being cross-platform able) and it should fix most if not all the bugs that were related to the old version of DirectX DR was using. However, since a lot of things had to be ported/remade, there might be some new bugs or some gameplay experience might be altered. If that's the case, please let us know asap what's wrong and we'll fix it.

Regarding game's resolution being scalable:
You can now render the game 800x600 in a 1920x1080 window for example. This means you can go full screen with any resolution that fits your gameplay without getting your screen resolution changed.
Also, there are now two render modes : Software & Hardware. Software is the classic mode and it should work anywhere. However, Software might add some overhead if you scale your rendering and it might be very pixelated. Hardware rendering fixes these issues but might not work everywhere (requires a GPU).

Finally, since we've redone text rendering, it now uses UTF-8 instead of code pages. This means everyone will now be able to see Korean/Chinese/Japanese/etc... text characters.
