The patch works perfectly for me against 1.1.24. Flashlight works as intended
in multiplayer campaign. I would like to see this get implemented as the FPS
increases are great. I no longer have to disable HDR in Left 4 Dead, albeit
settings must still be on low for models, textures, etc. and the resolution
doesn't go past  960x600. I know that sounds preachy and stuff but this patch
is a step in the right direction.
