Key points
- Due to compatibility issues with modern graphics cards and operating systems, the game crashes when accessing the Display options menu, causing the game to run at the lowest graphical settings and resolution. See Game crashes when accessing settings on Windows 7

Video settings
Input settings
Remapping
- Certain keys are unbindable when using the keyboard. The mouse buttons cannot be rebound, Delete cannot be bound to anything, and the default keys for vehicle/misc controls cannot be bound to on-foot controls unless they are unbound from vehicle/misc controls first. One consequence of this is that vehicle and on-foot controls must use separate buttons (i.e. if you walk with the arrow keys you cannot also drive with them) unless you use the default WASD keys.
