Issues fixed

White screen when starting the game

For some reason in modern operating systems when you start the game you see a white box in the middle of the screen just click on it and the game will start normally

Game runs too fast / Mouse too sensitive

Limit the framerate

Limit fps to around 60, for example through "Rivatuner Statistics Server". Forced VSYNC through driver settings did nothing for me.

  1. Set monitor on 60hz
