Issues unresolved
Explicit multi-adapter support
- Support for multiple GPUs was being worked on as of March 2016.[15]
Frame rate drops after Windows 10 update 1809
- Frame rate on ultra settings varies from 120 to 30 FPS independently of hardware. It is a known issue that the developers are aware of but regard as a low priority.[16] Setting shadows to low can fix fps drops for some users (even when reported GPU load is low).[17]
