Key points
- Developer recommends 4 GB of VRAM for optimal performance.[1] The game is optimized badly and has poor performance in general.[2] To help increase FPS, adjust the video settings and try using the
r_skipglare 1command. - On December 10, 2014, a 4.1GB patch, version 1.03, was released. It is reported to greatly improve optimization, though some players report that it also causes glitches.
- FOV unadjustable to compensate for lack of letterboxing.
