+ | Enabling Vsync may fix some issues, such as periodic freezing. This is because the game does not have a frame rate limiter, therefore it will tax the graphics card very heavily. Vsync forces a frame rate cap. | ||

− | + | A known issue regarding certain graphics card drivers. Resetting the graphics driver to default values from the control panel can fix this issue. This issue, at least on AMD cards, seems to be caused by forcing anti-aliasing via the control panel. Disabling it should fix the issue.

Issues fixed
Game freezes occasionally
Periodical freezing, overheating[3] |

Enabling Vsync may fix some issues, such as periodic freezing. This is because the game does not have a frame rate limiter, therefore it will tax the graphics card very heavily. Vsync forces a frame rate cap. |
Screen appears black / mostly black
Black screen with torches visible[4] |

A known issue regarding certain graphics card drivers. Resetting the graphics driver to default values from the control panel can fix this issue. This issue, at least on AMD cards, seems to be caused by forcing anti-aliasing via the control panel. Disabling it should fix the issue. Morphological Filtering (MLAA) seems functional as an alternative, but it can make small text and objects blurry. |
Graphics are blurry
- Blurry textures and menu items are almost always caused by the Mipmap Detail Level in the AMD VISION Engine Control Center.

This is possible using a utility called Swiftshader, which offloads shader processing onto the CPU. However, this comes at a heavy performance price. |
