System requirements
- Drivers should be from NVIDIA/ATI to ensure proper functionality.
- Caution when using an older or low cost CPU, such as Intel Celeron or AMD Sempron, their performance might not match this requirement.
- Graphic cards that do not support OpenGL 3.0 will not be able to run the game at all. Laptops that contain integrated graphics cards generally do not support OpenGL 3.0.

- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/57300/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (57300) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
