Doesn't work on Windows 10 with newest AMD drivers.

Fix Street Level Audio cutting out and crashes

In the Launcher set "City Life Density" to low[citation needed]

Games keeps defaulting to 800x600 resolution on laptops

Notes

  1. 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>/212580/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (212580) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
