There are a lot of thing that are broken. Sun-Moon phase for example (when was the last time you saw the moon?
)
The DirectX9 driver implementation is far away from being complete it was just a "techdemo" at that time to show the community / publisher that Neocron is capable to use Direct X 9.
I am currently tinkering around a little bit with the current implementation of the Direct X 9 driver and the engine, the whole HDR was removed too. It will take some time before the Dx 9 driver is working flawless, but the current priority is to get the balancing and other things working again.
The next patch includes some of the new engine tweaks which need to be tested @ Vedeena.
