- Tested with a retail, GFWL-enabled copy and a 144hz display. With the 144hz resolution option selected and Vsync turned off, the game does not exceed 120 FPS. I am not able to verify what happens with Vsync on as trying to enable Vsync while having a 144hz resolution selected causes the game to freeze.

- Tested with the retail, GFWL-enabled copy. After trying to launch the game, a window for ZDPP appears. After accepting the date check, it times out after 15-20 seconds. Manually installing the title update allowed me to launch and activate the copy.
