How can I use the mod?

It's been dealt with. I had to set the graphics settings to high

Yeah, the discription states that this bug is there. that is why i made the low spec version. hopefully i can make this one work for all but until then the low spec version will have to be here

from what it looks like it seems that the sprite atlas for the mod is to big for mid to low res settings. Offered mod author help to look into fixing this problem.

Remember when 2GB of vram was excessive? :-)
