Issues fixed

Mouse aiming deadzone

By default, the game has a mouse "deadzone" effect that ignores small mouse movements. This can make precision aiming with ranged weapons difficult to impossible. An option to disable this feature has been included with one of the patches.
Under "Mouse & Keyboard Settings", set "Mouse Deadzone" to "off"[citation needed]

Game fails to launch

The game fails to launch with mirrored screens, disable mirrored screens in display settings.

FPS issues on 8/16 CPU

The game has FPS issues if you use more than 8 threads[4]
Turn off logical threads (HT/SMT)[5]

Open task manager and change affinity in the game process. Cores 0, 2, 4, 6 = Physical. Cores 1, 3, 5, 7 = Logical. Uncheck logical threads. For some Xeons it may differ (0, 1, 2, 8, 9, 10 and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11[6]).

At least on AMD, it may won't matter whether you pick even or uneven cores, since they both use the same logical core resource.[7]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/371660/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (371660) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
