Issues unresolved

APEX PhysX cannot be disabled

Unlike the original release, the game has no settings for its APEX PhysX implementation, instead simply forcing it to be enabled. Although there is a setting for it in the settings.xml file, changing the value has no impact.[1]
Due to PhysX not supporting AMD GPUs, this significantly impacts performance when playing the game with one.
