Issues unresolved
Aiming FOV is unaffected by FOV setting
The aiming FOV is currently unaffected by the FOV setting. This means that the aimed FOV remains 60, even if the regular FOV increases up to 100.
Microstuttering
Many players on the Steam forums are reporting major microstuttering on Nvidia GPUs (Kepler only?).
Low frame rate
Disabling "Screen space reflections" can drasticly improve the frame rate.
Issues fixed
Large frame rate drop when aiming
Disable vsync if you have large frame rate drops when aiming.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/65930/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (65930) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
