- A 64-bit operating system is required.
Issues unresolved
Stutter every 15 seconds caused by large Steam friend list
- Not connected to latency, present even offline.
Workaround: Temporarily block all (or most of) your Steam friends (they will remain in the blocked category to unblock later). The less friends you have - the less frames are lost every 15 seconds.[7][8] |

- In the beta, HDR looks extremely washed out, raised blacks and shadows, nothing reaches peak brightness. Contrast and saturation sliders did nothing. No engine.ini file is available to attempt a fix
