High frame rate
- The in-game settings allow the FPS limiter to be set to 30, 50, 60, 75, 90, 120, 144, or 160 FPS.
- By changing the settings file manually it is possible to achieve a custom FPS limit, or reach the 200 FPS cap of the engine.

|
Resolution scaler
- Dynamic Resolution Mode adjusts the internal render resolution during play to keep the frame rate stable; down to 75% when using "Moderate" or 50% when using "Aggressive".
- The in-game settings allow the resolution scaler to be set between 50% and up to 200% in increments of 1%.
- By changing the settings file manually it is possible to set a higher or lower percentage.

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>/644830/
. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (644830) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ There is also a randomized listening UDP port in the >60k range.[11]

- While the game listens on these ports, it does not rely on a direct connection to them for multiplayer online functionality and therefor UPnP support is not applicable. They are most likely a leftover of some form of development tool, such as MicroProfile Capture profiler which is accessed through http://localhost:1338

After that the player uses ↵ Enter to accept the allocated points.
