- The game contains 7 GB of pre-rendered cutscenes. Besides
ui\menu_main , they can be deleted - at least the whole in_level folder, and probably also loading folder, without replacing the files with dummy files (like above). As a result, the game will show an error, then disappear from thet taskbar, but when pressing Alt+Tab ↹, it will continue loading.

DirectX 11 Crashes on Nvidia GeForce 500 and 600 series
Increase Vcore to the GPU slightly or drop the GPU clocks[citation needed]

- It seems Nvidia have set the default Vcore too low on the 5xx/6xx series cards. They do pass stress testing but crash in a few DX11 intensive games.
