Issues unresolved
Connectivity Issues
Some users have reported an inability to connect to some or all multiplayer servers.[2] The developers are aware of this issue and the next patch will reportedly fix some of the problems, most notably the fact that connecting to a dedicated server means you are subsequently unable to connect to a P2P server.
Crash after a kill
Reportedly the game crashes after a kill in some instances.[3]
Zooming control issue
Sometimes the zoom controls will cause the scope zoom to zoom in and out continuously.[4]
Issues fixed
Close the Raptr program before running the game[5] |
---|
Window focus issues
- Some users report that after alt-tabbing from the game in Windows 7/8, refocusing the window and then clicking the mouse will defocus the window again, making the game unplayable after pressing Alt+Tab ↹.
Set the game's compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3 and/or disable desktop composition.[6] |
---|
Refresh rate issues
- Issues can occur with the game's fixed refresh rate when using a monitor with a higher or lower refresh rate.
If using an Nvidia graphics card, use the Refresh Rate Patcher[7] |
---|
Low performance
- This appears to be caused by the game process priority being set to 'low'.
Set the game's process priority to "high" in the Task Manager[8] |
