Can't choose custom refresh rate
- When selecting resolution in video options, only pre-made presets are available, user can't choose to change refresh rate, which often force players to play in windowed mode.
Can't force game into fullscreen
- The game starts in windowed mode and no matter what you do it just stays in windowed mode. Alt+↵ Enter doesn't work and neither does setting the video option to fullscreen.
Close TeamViewer if installed[citation needed] |

|
Close (or stop) Actual Multiple Monitors, or other multi-monitor software if installed[citation needed] |

Low performance on Nvidia cards
- The game is optimized for AMD cards, and thus Nvidia cards can post low FPS for the auto detected settings.
Improve frame rate[citation needed] |

Setting "Enable Quality Anti-Aliasing" and "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" to Normal should noticeably improve FPS. |
