Issues unresolved

Screen Tearing

Game suffers from screen tearing in borderless mode regardless of settings. Only enabling V-Sync in fullscreen fixes the issue. Forcing V-Sync through GPU control panel has no effect.[citation needed]
Users of AMD GPUs have reported that enabling V-Sync in their GPU control panel's Global Settings solves the issue across all fullscreen types. The game's own V-Sync setting has no effect one way or the other, nor does the game's specific profile in the GPU control panel.

Issues fixed

Heavy game stutter/stutter in general

Go to <path-to-game>\Binaries\SETTINGS. Open TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML and change the value of NumHighThreads and NumLowThreads to 0.

Notes

  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>/275850/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (275850) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
