Issues unresolved
Crashes with ray tracing enabled on GTX cards
- Having any of the Ray Tracing options enabled in the game may result in crashing on Nvidia GTX graphics cards. Unchecking each related box in the settings solves the issue.[23][24]
Downgrade the Nvidia display drivers to 431.60[25] |
---|
Performance issues on high-end hardware
- There have been multiple reports of FPS drops below 60 and stuttering on hardware exceeding the recommended system requirements.[26][27][28]
Disable exploit protection for the game in DirectX 12 mode on Windows 10[29] |
---|
|
See this wiki section on freeing up standby memory with external software to reduce stuttering.[30] |
---|
Update Windows 10 to version 1903[31][32] |
---|
|
Issues fixed
SSE4.2-supported CPU required
- The game will not start on a system with a CPU that does not support the SSE4.2 instruction set, but the check can be bypassed.
- A CPU with no support for the instruction set is below the system requirements of the game, likely to result in poor performance.
Remove the SSE4.2 check by modifying a game file[33] |
---|
|
No choice of DirectX 12
Launch the game directly from <path-to-game>\Control_DX12.exe [26][34]

Notes
- ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/870780/
. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (870780) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ Without this file the game executables will just invoke the Steam client to launch the game the "regular" way, which then launches
Control.exe
(the launcher) which then performs the failing auto-check and launchesControl_DX11.exe
.
