Crashing

Low FPS
- Most of the issues with optimization, hardware utilizing and controller querying should be fixed with patch 03-02-16.[5]
Unsubscribe from Steam's Beta client[6] |
---|
Use dedicated GPU (laptops)[citation needed] |
---|
|
Menus scrolling automatically
- Should be fixed as latest patches include native XInput support.[7]
- This is most likely caused by game detecting some of computers devices as controller and picking it up as primary/only one. This can mean physical devices like mouse and webcams[8] to virtual and physical unused controllers.
- People with Steam Link and Controller seem to be having major issues with this, see further below for solution.
Remove unused controllers[citation needed] |

Analog stick acts as 8-directional digital input
- Update to the game in March 17, 2016 added native XInput 1.4 support into the game, however it altered the input so that analog movement doesn't work anymore. It also made Steam controller and link work with the game, but at the same time introduced issues with XInput devices especially with windows version of 7 and earlier.
