No windowed or exclusive fullscreen mode possible in the Microsoft Store version
- Due to the nature of UWP applications, the game runs only in borderless fullscreen windowed, cannot be changed by editing the config file[5]

Notes
- ↑ 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>/412020/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (412020) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details. - ↑ On Windows (Windows 10 Pro 1909 at least), with Dolby Atmos (Version 3.20402.409 of 2019-04-26 at least) in its default "Music" mode, directional audio may not work as expected. Speaker's voices fade in and out seemingly at random, making it next to impossible to follow dialogue. It sounds as if Artyom has a hearing problem. One solution is to switch Atmos to "Games" mode (translated from "Spiele" in German).
