Key points
- Supports Hardware PhysX and allows for additional PhysX effects on Nvidia cards.
- Badly optimized and has numerous problems with performance, even on systems with specs way above recommended ones.[1]
- Poor implementation of Shader Model 4.0. It's recommended to use Shader Model 2.0 or 3.0 instead.[2]

Notes
- ↑ 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>/7850/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (7850) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
