Widescreen resolution
- Only 960x540, 1280x720, 1600x900, 1920x1080 are supported.
- Internal resolution is always 1280x720.
Only way to remove this limitation is to disable post processing and antialiasing.[2]

High frame rate
- By default the game is locked at 60 FPS "for stability"[2]
- Frame rate above 60 causes physics issues. Potentially faulty hit detection.[3]
