Instructions

Adjust Level of Detail for Better Graphics Tradeoff

Using graphics tools (ATI Tray Tools or nHancer) to force a negative level of detail and high quality x16 anisotropic filtering may be a better graphics tradeoff.

ATI Tray Tools anistropic filtering is better than the option provided by the game.
Objects look crisper when they appear in the draw distance.

Cloud Support

Origin: Cloud saving can be activated by navigating to the game's information page and clicking the cloud symbol below the game cover.
Steam: Steam cloud is natively supported by the Steam version of this game, which will sync save game data.

Save Game Transfer

Game profile names need to be identically named when transferring saves to different accounts or computers. If they are not, then you will need to rename the save file into one that has been 'recognised' by the game. This applies to transferring save data in any combination between computers, profiles, Steam and Origin accounts.
