Issues unresolved

"Your CPU does not reach minimum requirements" error at launch

The CPU check fails on some CPU models that are higher than the minimum system requirements.[6][7]

Issues fixed

Crashing, freezing and general instability

There is no permanent fix yet, but these steps are confirmed to work for some users.
  • Download latest graphics drivers.
  • Install all the latest Windows updates, mainly DirectX update KB2670838 on Windows 7.
  • Disable Steam Community, Fraps or any other in-game overlay applications.
  • Set Terrain Detail to Off.
  • Exiting and starting the game after 2 or 3 map changes. Game tends not to clear unused assets from RAM/VRAM/SWAP.

  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>/209160/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (209160) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
