Curiously low performance...

That broke the game.

I think I did everything correctly - I copied the new folders over the old ones - and now, whenever I choose to start the game, it loads up and I only get a white screen and background music where the title screen should be.

Make a cache control over steam (this restore the game to 2.2.0), and try again (you install also the second patch file? shell.2.2.1 is the patch and en.zip is the english translation)

I did what you suggested, and this time it worked. My game is now updated to 2.2.1. Thanks! It's kind of hard to tell if I notice any difference in performance yet, but I have a question:

On the "Geometry" -tab in the Graphic Options -menu, what's the difference between the "Highest" and "Ultra" -settings?

Ultra is a ameliorate level of post processing the image respect "highest".

I don't quite understand what you mean.

Are you saying that it increases the post-processing?

Yes something like that; they added for better use the capabilities of the better video cards.

The reason I'm asking, is that the previous setting in the Geometry-tab is called "Highest". That doesn't make sense. How can something be higher than highest? Is it just a LOD -setting, or something?
