Issues fixed

DirectX 10 issues

DirectX 10 mode is not optimized and when enabled can cause large performance drops on high end computers. Disabling Ambient Occlusion can enable a 30FPS performance boost.

Some modern computers running in DirectX 10 mode may experience an issue with the Sun and other light sources being visible through the terrain and solid objects. Activating DirectX 9 mode can resolve this issue.

To activate DirectX 9 mode, add -nod3d10 to the launch parameters. The image quality is nearly identical but performance is radically better. Recommended for all computers, whether or not you feel it's totally necessary.

Game crashes while playing

Playing the game with keyboard and mouse with a controller connected can cause the game to crash.
