Notes
- ↑ Unity engine build: 2017.4.33f1
- ↑ 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>/753640/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (753640) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details. - ↑ The contents of one of the game files suggest that anisotropic textures are enabled by default (2 in Quality Settings).[5]
