- The game features a graphics benchmark option with a detailed end result screen to diagnose potential performance bottlenecks. However, the benchamrk shows a piece of real-time gameplay of CPU vs. CPU, resulting in every run being slightly different. This causes the result for every ran benchmark to be slightly different, causing the benchmarking feature to be potentially unreliable.[6]
Unlock desired Texture Quality settings
- To use Ultra Texture Quality settings, a GPU with 16 GB or more VRAM is needed. High Texture Quality settings need 8 GB or more VRAM. If any of these requirements are not met, those respective options will be greyed-out as a menu option.[7][8]

- Plugging in an Xbox controller does nothing at boot. Some configuration files contain references to gamepad and gamepad UI scaling, but seems to be just prepratory work for the Console Edition. No word if this controller UI will be included on PC at a later date.
