SLI, dual monitor, and inactive mouse fix. Game speed > 60 fps fix. Stronger verbage mandating 4gb enabler with larger NMC texture packs. Refined Robco, FWE, NMC, and Ironsights instructions.

Sprint & Grenade Hot Key mod links for those who do not use FWE
Due to many reports of problems with recent stutter remover version I will strengthen cautionary language about its use and suggest checking it as a source of problems early if crashes are experienced
Imperfection (pending author merge)
Loot (will include when next version out)
D.C. Moods (might include as full separate entry instead of brief mention as Project Reality alternative)
FWE install instructions for NMM needs pic and more detail to avoid user error (edit: good video tutorial now available)
Remove obsolete guidance to not include blackened when making merged patch
meh.
Translators needed.
