- GameSpy online server browser has been shut down.
- On modern systems, dynamic shadows (High, Very High) are only rendered on part of the screen.[1] Precise cause remains unclear.
- SLI (more than one graphics card) is not supported and causes a black anomaly to fill the screen, disable SLI to remedy.
