===Windows 7: crash after starting new game===

{{Fixbox|description=Use [https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/ DXVK]|fix=
 
# Download a DXVK release archive (tested with [https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.9.1 version 1.9.1])
 
# Extract the archive's .dll files to <code>{{p|game}}\ZingangGame\Binaries\Win64\</code>.
 
# Run the game's executable file using a <code>-d3d9</code> or <code>-d3d11</code> parameter:
 
## Create a shortcut to <code>{{p|game}}\ZingangGame\Binaries\Win64\ZingangGame-Win64-Shipping.exe</code>
 
## Modify the shortcut file and add <code>-d3d11</code> to the end of the target path.
 
## For example: <code>{{p|game}}\ZingangGame\Binaries\Win64\ZingangGame-Win64-Shipping.exe -d3d11</code>
 
# You may still see the .dll error but the game should launch and run. (The missing DLL error can be fixed by copying the file from C:\WINDOWS\System32\CompatTel to the game's Win64 folder.)

Issues unresolved

Stuttering, frame drops, or poor performance

Many people experience stuttering for at least a short time while playing the game.[7][8]

This may be related to the game's engine (Unreal Engine 4) loading game assets on-the-fly.[9][10]

Installing and running the game on a fast-access hard disk such as an SSD may lessen the issue. Stuttering should decrease after playing the game for a short time as more assets are loaded into your computer's memory.
