Issues fixed
Won't start with MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner Statistics Server running.[2] |
---|
Horace conflicts with MSI Afterburner/RTSS; attempting to start the game with RTSS running will have process immediately close before even opening a window. To fix this issue either quit MSI Afterburner/RTSS before launching the game or create a custom rule for the game in RTSS with "Application Detection Level" set to "None": this will disable RTSS for Horace. |
