x64: (Ged will explain this shortly)
* x64: When running in 64 bit “.X64″ is tagged to the end of the version string in the main menu
* x64: When running x64 gold config it will by default spawn the 32 bit exe instead and exit, unless -x64 is passed to the command line
Render:

Audio:
* The McLaren F1 Road Car NEW incar. Tweaks to tranny, gears, wobble & backfires, The track version of this engine sound will reappear with the GTR version, Surface sound fix, some samples were dropping out at high 1.0 (full) scaling, now moved them up to 1.0.
Online:
* Use Steam alias as the name displayed for the local user rather than WMD login name, when running in Steam mode. This change should finish “name” switchover to Steam, making names consistent again (Steam names rather than WMD names now).
* Fixed issue introduced by CL 355739, the Steam name was used as the login dialog default. Unfortunately the main GUI displays the account name and not the profile name, so it’s back to the WMD name for now.
