A side note that I forgot to mention in the video, if you have a laptop with more than one graphics card, and an auto switching utility, you will have to select the GPU you intend to use. Like I have to switch it from the Intel "Optimus" to the Nvidia 4070 in order for this to work.

Also, this will NOT add support for any resolutions higher than the game or your monitor/system can support. This may and may not work with "Hard Truck Apocalypse: Rise of the clans" That copy of the game runs different and often times gets stuck before the game starts. I found out through my investigations, that its getting stuck in the system information gathering. So far I don't know of a work around for that.

You can use this guide to add in support for an Intel card or "other" types of GPUs, you will just need to follow similar instructions to add in an entire section for the new GPU manufacturer. Its vendor ID should be in that initial "exmachina" file as well.

I hope this helps people, and I had actually figured this out for myself shortly after I got this game back on actual CDs back in the day. If anyone wants to have me check other games to add support for a newer GPU like this, just comment the name of the game below. If I own it, or I can buy it cheaply, I will let you know if there are steps similar to this, or I will try to make another video like this.
