Is it possible to manually install Cyclone III support for Quartus 15?

So why Altera says Cyclone III is still recommended for new designs but is no more supported since Quartus V14?

For example, Quartus v13.1 is bugged (Hardware acceleration of floating point root square doesn't work well). The solution: problem solved on Quartus v14. Great, my device is not supported!

Yes. this is a problem with both Altera and Xilinx. Dropping support in their latest tools for devices. If you have a good FAE, you may be able to get the "Fix" backported to 13.1. But I wouldn't hold your breath..
