From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(What's the point of playing on these cards if the game was never ment to run on them in the first place. I know it sucks but, I mean I would understand if there were some actual fixes but there's nothing here.)

Multiplayer types

Type Native Players Notes
Local play
4 Versus, Co-op
Local players can go online too. Co-op career mode supports 4 players.[1]
LAN play
10 Versus
Players on the same network will be directly connected. Requires an internet connection for Steam authentication.[2]
Online play
10 Versus
The Matchmaking option does not have Region options. Thus, The Matchmaking is available for Multi-Region. However, if you have 128 friends who had the game already, entering the Matchmaking will crash the game and there is no fixes unless you have to delete it few from the friend list and it will fix the crash.

Connection types

Type Native Notes
Matchmaking
It's also possible to play privately on matchmaking.
Peer-to-peer
Dedicated
Self-hosting
Players can create custom matches, but P2P networking is still used.
Direct IP
Players can join other friends through their Steam profiles. Additionally, there's a way to make matchmaking lobbies private.

Private Matchmaking lobbies

Private matches can be created more easily by using the Custom Game option. This hack of sorts is intended for private ranked matchmaking lobbies only.
  • Although not an official option, it is possible to play privately on matchmaking mode by using the -internalid command line argument.[3]
  • This option will force the game to connect only with players who are using the same internalid.

Issues fixed

Stuttering

Stuttering can be caused by high frame rates (>60 FPS).
  • Turning on V-sync resolves this problem.[4]

Launcher.exe has stopped working (Windows 8)

Application crashes with error message: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
  • Running Launcher.exe in compatibility mode for Windows 7 will fix this error.

Low Audio Volume

Volume level is very soft in game.
  • Fix the issue by going to Control Panel => Hardware and Sound => Sound. On the communications tab, choose "do nothing". (Note: This fix also applies to Batman: Arkham Origins.)

Issues unresolved

Missing objects on ATI Radeon HD3000

(also on entry-level Radeon HD4000; mid- and high-end models work fine)

Objects like the water and boost pads, essential to gameplay, will not render at all.[5]
No single fix for every system.
  • This is a driver issue, and not much can be done about it.
  • It may be partially fixed by messing about with the game's settings and window (minimizing, moving it, or even opening UAC prompts),[6] but even this will only make the objects slightly visible and still hard to see.

Shadow stripes

This occurs on some old NVIDIA GPUs, like the GeForce 7600GS (AGP8x). Unfortunately, there is no known fix.[7]
