Issues fixed
White screen when starting the game
For some reason in modern operating systems when you start the game you see a white box in the middle of the screen just click on it and the game will start normally |
Game runs too fast / Mouse too sensitive
Limit the framerate |
---|
Limit fps to around 60, for example through "Rivatuner Statistics Server". Forced VSYNC through driver settings did nothing for me. |
