Availability

Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM was removed on March 11, 2019.

Essential improvements

Audio "performance mode"

Greatly reduces the amount of CPU time spent on audio, freeing it up for the game itself to use (which can help reduce stutter and improve framerates)
Normally the audio system may use up to 12% of CPU time,[2] "performance mode" can reduce this to lower than 1%.
May stop the game from detecting audio devices being added/removed, requiring the game to restart to make use of them.
Change audio mode in audio.ini
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open audio.ini.
  3. Change AudioMode=0 to AudioMode=1
  4. Save the file.
May no longer be required as of Patch 2.
