(Thanks for anons edit. Trying to generalize invisible text seeing how it may not be connected with Windows 10 and instead some are just making assumptions based around that.)

Issues unresolved

Invisible text

Some users are reporting that Windows 10 causes text to be invisible,[2] however some can play the game without any problems at all[3] and there's doesn't seem to be any explanation or fix available.

Issues fixed

Frame rate drops

Game engine incorrectly overpolls the USB I/O in Windows causing significant frame rate drop.[4]
This issue mainly occurs with gaming keyboards and mice like Logitech G series. There are several ways to reduce this frame rate drop:
  • Open Device Manager ( Win+Pause >> Device Manager), expand Human Interface Devices and disable all HID-compliant device entries.
  • Open Task Manager and end SetPoint.exe and SetPointII.exe processes.
  • Open Task Manager and stop hidserv service from the Services tab.
  • Reduce the USB polling rate in your mouse software.
  • Alt+Tab to desktop for a few seconds.
