I think the game is not receiving the correct capabilities for the graphics
card and drivers, so it might be a problem for all cards in existence. To add
yet another card to the unsupported list, my old NVIDIA Geforce 8800GTS(640MB)
didn't enable the effects either.

I attempted to modify the driverConfig.lua file inside Bin/ to force all the
special effects to be enabled, but it still does not work. Apparently they used
this LUA script to prevent graphics features from being enabled on hardware and
driver versions that had only minimal or broken support for these features.

I've tried all I could think of with this script, but I wonder if it can indeed
be hacked to enable the features as a workaround?
