Game resets the settings on startup

Run the game from Revenant.exe instead of Launcher.exe
It is necessary to start the game via the launcher at least once to configure the settings. Game speed setting will reset in every session regardless.

Game crashes

Disable the Fast Surface Locks option in the game settings

Game fails to boot or large black areas in-game

Limit the game's RAM access to 2 GB[citation needed]
