Hey everyone.

So, by now it is pretty well-known that GOG version of Evil Islands has an issue with extremely fast camera pitch, as well as shadows being turned off by default.

But there's actually far MORE registry differences that bring a different quality to the game's picture. Just to show what I mean.

Here's a screenshot how the game looks with original GOG values

And here how it looks with values from original CD:

Same time of day and moment, just a little bit different angle cause couldn't perfectly recreate it.

The differences are not just in shadows/camera, but also how far the fog begins to take over, how textures on objects look, how visible the far objects are, the color and radius of the quest marker as well as the light around the heroes.... there's a lot of differences, all of which I've put in the reg file available here:

I might have missed some but these seem to be all values that are different between the original/GOG version, so adding that all to reg will bring the picture quality much closer to the original. This includes the camera pitch/shadows fixes.

So.... hope you will find it useful!
