Windowed
Instructions |

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).
Instructions |
---|
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.
Instructions |

PhysX
- PhysX is enabled by default, even for non-Nvidia cards. Make sure to disable if using an AMD GPU, as there will be severe frame rate drops if it is enabled.
