Issues unresolved
Graphical issues with mirrors
Low frame rate on gaming laptops
- If you have a laptop with an integrated GPU + dedicated GPU, you may find that the game will not switch to the dedicated GPU automatically (you can verify usage via Task Manager). If your laptop has an Nvidia card, you can use the Nvidia Control Panel, go to 3D Settings → Manage 3D settings, and either try and force it to use the Nvidia GPU on an application level, or on a global level. A good way to determine if this has taken effect or not is to add an FPS counter for the Nvidia settings, i.e. if the FPS counter does not appear, this was not applied.
Issues fixed
Unable to set high resolution
- When Windows text scaling is enabled, the game will not allow a high resolution to be selected (e.g. 720p may be the highest available on a 1080p display)[6]
Use Alternative Launcher[citation needed] |
