Issues unresolved
Steam overlay is not available
Opening the Steam overlay in the retail game causes all input (keyboard or controller) to be ignored, requiring a restart of the game.
Game won't launch with Steam Controller connected
The game will fail to launch while the Steam Controller is connected to your computer. This also means the controller isn't compatible with the game. Possibly related to the Steam Overlay not being supported.
Issues fixed
EAX doesn't work properly with Creative Alchemy/Audio dropout in certain locations when using Creative Alchemy
Use DSO-AL with openAl-soft instead[citation needed] |

- ↑ 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>/19980/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (19980) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
