Very poor performance on modern systems
- Due to poor OpenGL support with Nvidia and AMD GPU drivers under Windows 8.1 and later systems, the game is unable to use the hardware properly.[citation needed]
- This may greatly improve the frame rate but not entirely fix it. With V-Sync turned off through the GPU control panel, the game may still not go beyond a certain frame rate depending on the system. Setting "Max Frame Rate" (on Nvidia GPUs) to a value like 240 FPS can increase performance by a small amount in-game and also fully unlock performance in menus (if V-Sync is off).
