Serious Sam Patch

This custom Serious Sam Cla*sic patch includes a lot of modern enhancements that aren’t present in the original code, nor the official Steam patches.
 
 
This project is based on Serious Engine 1 SDK, meaning that it’s perfectly compatible with vanilla cla*sic games.

Differences with the Steam patch

• Way more new features that also work properly.
• All of the new features can be disabled if needed.
• Lack of QEffectsGL support (it only really added bloom for OpenGL mode).
