Issues fixed
- Frictional Games has put together a troubleshooting guide for SOMA
Low frame rate or fluctuation with Vsync enabled
- Frame rate may fluctuate between full and half refresh rate values.
Set triple buffering[2] |

Super Sampling
Mouse Viewport is smaller than the DSR/VSR resolution
Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"[citation needed] |

|
Restart the game after setting the desired DSR/VSR resolution[citation needed] |

SLI not working
Set 'MULTICHIP_OGL_OPTIONS (0x209746C1)' to '0x00000002'[citation needed] |
