Connection types
Private Matchmaking lobbies
- Private matches can be created more easily by using the Custom Game option. This method is intended for private ranked matchmaking lobbies only.
- Although not an official option, it is possible to play privately on matchmaking mode by using the -internalid command line argument.[3]
- This option will force the game to connect only with players who are using the same internalid.
VR support
Issues fixed
Stuttering
- Stuttering can be caused by high frame rates (>60 FPS).
Launcher.exe has stopped working (Windows 8)
- Application crashes with error message: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Low Audio Volume
- Volume level is very soft in game.
Issues unresolved
Missing objects on ATI Radeon HD3000
(also on entry-level Radeon HD4000; mid- and high-end models work fine)
- Objects like the water and boost pads, essential to gameplay, will not render at all.[4]
- No single fix for every system.
- This is a driver issue, and not much can be done about it.
- It may be partially fixed by messing about with the game's settings and window (minimizing, moving it, or even opening UAC prompts),[5] but even this will only make the objects slightly visible and still hard to see.
Shadow stripes
- This occurs on some old NVIDIA GPUs, like the GeForce 7600GS (AGP8x). Unfortunately, there is no known fix.[6]
