| For all Duke fans who want to play the game again in a modern Windows / Linux |
| environment with 3D accelerated graphics, the Duke3D community has created the |
| High Resolution Pack (HRP). Utilizing the amazing skills of various texturing |

| Please note that all HRP v5.x contents has been optimized for usage with Polymer |
| renderer. This means that if you use the older Polymost renderer, you WILL |
| encounter problems (HUD weapons rendered incorrectly or other display glitches). |
| Polymer requirements offer advanced graphics effects but demand much better |
| hardware. |

| > The startup screens are not optimized for widescreen resolutions and |
| might show black stripes on both sides and possibly some distortions, |
| depending on your display. |
| > EDuke32 (current version is r4565) does not make use of the HRP's |
| maphack file hierarchy yet. Therefore, the UserMapHacks pack needs to |
| be downloaded to make use of the already existing user map maphacks. |
