Issues unresolved
Performance issues
- Several reports indicate that performance issues are present, even on hardware that is within the listed system requirements.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
- Lowering the in-game graphics options may not result in significant performance improvement.[10]
Exclusive fullscreen mode stretching selected resolution to desktop resolution
- This happens when using a desktop resolution with an aspect ratio that is wider than 16:9 widescreen, regardless of whether aspect ratio preservation is enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Radeon Software.[11]
Issues fixed
Resolution limit lower than current resolution when using DPI Scaling
- The game limits resolution options based on the DPI Scaling settings set in Windows. For example, if a 3840x2160 resolution is being used, but DPI Scaling is set to 200%, the in-game resolution will be limited to 1920x1080.[12]
- Windows 7 users may need to use the fix mentioned for 4K resolution to work properly, as noted by the announcement for the 7.09.2019 Build update.[13]

- Tested by lowering graphics options and adjusting the in-game resolution. Based on testing, raising the in-game resolution to "4K Native" on an RX 5700 nets equivalent performance to running at 1080p.

- Tested by changing resolution options and by having "preserve aspect ratio" checked in GPU control panel.
- ↑ Verified by User:KingKrouch on 2020-07-18
- Tested with a 5120x2160 custom resolution and 200% DPI scaling on a 2560x1080 monitor. When the 1920x1080 option is selected in-game, it centers on the screen similarly to what would happen at 2560x1080. When selecting 2560x1440, the image appears zoomed in, due to having a higher vertical resolution than what typically happens with native resolution.

- "*Note: In order to allow 4K settings to work properly, Windows 7 users must first access the Properties menu of the EXE file and change the DPI setting to "Application" (please see image below). Afterwards the 4k resolution should work without issue. Non-Windows 7 users will not need to do this."
