Issues unresolved

Invisible enemies on AMD video cards

The PC version has a bug where enemies appear completely invisible during gameply on AMD video cards.[4]

Issues fixed

Input lag

Game's own V-sync introduces severe input lag with 60 Hz monitors.[5][6]
Disable vsync from GPU control panel[citation needed]

Notes

With this option, screen tearing is clearly visible because of game's 63 FPS cap.
Force vsync externally[citation needed]
  1. Force vsync from GPU control panel.
  2. Put pre-rendered frames value lowest possible.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 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>/394600/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (394600) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
