System requirements

A 64-bit system is required.
For ultra setting the publisher lists an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 and 4 GB of VRAM as the minimum requirement.[12]
The recommended requirements are only for 30FPS, not 60+ as most would expect. The upcoming updates may allow for a GTX 760 to run at 60 with low/med settings, but it is not complete or confirmed yet. Also note most GTX 760s only have 2GB of VRAM, not the recommended 3GB. 2GB should suffice for low/med quality, but 3GB+ is likely desired for high settings.

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>/208650/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (208650) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
