Engine improvements and bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where ffmpeg libraries failed to load, resulting in missing sound effects during gameplay.

Riven X 0.9 is a major update and may not load saved games created with previous versions of Riven X correctly, or may even crash. Therefore, it is recommended to create a new game. Also, Riven X 0.9 will require the game to be installed again. Note that the previous data files will be deleted the first time Riven X launches.

• The flies special effect is not implemented. This is a graphics special effect only and does not affect gameplay.
• Zip mode is not implemented.
• Certain miscellaneous application features are missing, such as an easy way to uninstall the game.

Riven X requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later, which is a free update available from Apple via Software Update or apple.com.
