Key points

Steam version requires a physical or virtual optical drive with any disc/image in it to run on Windows 8.1, 10 & 11 (remnants of disc-based DRM).[3] On Windows 7 game launches with no problems.
Problems with launching the game on many systems (black screen with stuttering sound).[4] See Crash at startup to fix.
Graphics inferior to console versions, with missing character reflections and worse lighting.[5]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/322600/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (322600) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
