Launch options
Change graphics API to DirectX 12[6]
|
- Find the game in your Steam Library
- Right-click the game name
- Select
Properties
- Add
-dx12 to the launch options
- Can significantly improve performance in CPU limited scenarios, but might slightly reduce performance in some GPU limited scenarios and can also cause gfx glitches like all-black 3D models without textures

Fullscreen issue at launch
The game starts in full window borderless regardless of the saved settings saying fullscreen (exclusive). You have to change screen mode and then go back to fullscreen to actually set the game in real fullscreen exclusive.
