Issues fixed
Crash on saving/loading or exiting buildings
In particular areas, the game may crash when exiting buildings or when trying to save or load. Patching the game executable to allow access to 4 GB RAM seems to resolve this.
Apply the NTCORE 4 GB RAM patcher[citation needed] |
---|
Low frame rate
Enable timeslice shadow updates in game settings[citation needed] |
---|
Micro-stuttering on multi-core systems
- In-built multi-core support is broken in that it induces severe stuttering in-game and also on the main menu.
Disable the multi-core option in game settings[citation needed] |
---|
Micro-stuttering on Windows Vista/7
- May cause alt-tabbing issues
Disable desktop composition in the executable's properties[citation needed] |
---|
Lower FPS cap to 55 FPS[citation needed] |
---|
|
Lower mouse polling rate |
---|
|
Use an external framerate limiter to run the game at 30 fps[4] |
