Linux | <path-to-game>/<user-id>/user.cfg |
- This game does not follow the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.
- Do NOT change
user.cfg
to read-only. Doing so will cause the game to forget collected journal entries, and may also do likewise with the moral point system.

Notes

Borderless fullscreen windowed
- In some multi-monitor systems there might be issues with selecting different resolutions than the default (native?) one. To fix this you can force the game to run in borderless windowed mode with an external tool.
- Forcing borderless windowed mode with an external tool might break some of the game's post-processing effects in the higher settings (for example the water reflections seem to be a bit corrupted in some areas).

Force DirectX 9 or 10 renderer on DirectX 11 systems
- Forcing DirectX 9 will result in better performance. However DirectX 11 specific features (tessellation, SSAO) will be disabled. See Port Report article for benchmarking information.
Force alternate renderer[citation needed] |

PhysX
- Advanced PhysX is enabled by default, disabling drops the number and complexity of physics based objects. Since it still uses PhysX you may see performance drops on certain AMD GPU's, especially if your CPU has less than 4 cores.
