Issues fixed
Game freezes when trying to exit
- This bug appears to only occur when using fullscreen mode; windowed mode is not affected.
Use SuperF4 to kill the game process. |

SLI system stutters constantly
- It appears SLI does not work properly on some systems, using 100% of GPU1 and practically 0 of GPU2, but causes severe fps stutter.
Disable SLI |
