    Without delaying the borderless fullscreen process with Borderless Gaming, the taskbar remains visible.
  3. Verified by User:AmethystViper on 2020-02-18
    Attempting to hack SGSSAA caused visual glitches such as missing character portraits during mid-stage dialogue and broken effects on the menus.
  4. 60 fps - Steam Community Disucssions - last accessed on 2020-02-18
  5. Verified by User:AmethystViper on 2020-02-18
    Attempted to raise the frame-rate cap to 120 FPS on a 60Hz display caused mouse cursor movement to move slowly whereas mouse movement worked fine at 60 FPS. Cannot be certain if this is true for 120Hz displays with a 120 FPS cap.
