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.

    "People in other threads have suggested changing the value of "apex" in the game's settings.xml, but opening the benchmark shows that it does not work for me (I have tried setting it to 0, 1, 2, 3, 9999, all of them had PhysX activated, as can be seen here: [[1]])""
