Issues unresolved
Missing objects on ATI Radeon HD3000/HD4000
- Objects like the water and boost pads, essential to gameplay, will not render at all.[4]
- This is a driver issue, and not much can be done about it. It may be partially fixed by messing about with the game's settings and window (minimizing, moving it, or even opening UAC prompts),[5] but even this will only make the objects slightly visible and still hard to see.
Shadow stripes
- This occurs on some old NVIDIA GPUs, like the GeForce 7600GS (AGP8x). Unfortunately, there is no known fix.[6]
Issues fixed
Stuttering
- Stuttering is caused by high frame rates (above 60 FPS). In another case, the GPU load can also be too low causing frame rates below 60 FPS.
Enable Vsync[citation needed] |
---|
Cap the frame rate at 60 FPS[citation needed] |
---|
Set energy mode of the graphics card to maximum performance[7][8] |
---|
Launcher.exe has stopped working (Windows 8)
- Application crashes with error message: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Set Windows 7 compatibility mode[citation needed] |
---|
|
Low audio volume
- Volume level is very soft in game.
Disable automatic volume adjustments[citation needed] |
---|
|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate and 60 FPS cap[citation needed] |
