Video settings
- All menu screens, including the graphics and audio settings screens, are unique for all factions; however, they all have exactly the same wording, format, and settings, so the difference is merely superficial.
- Unlike its expansions, the setup utility and the in-game graphics settings for the base game, Earth 2150, has a hardware-accelerated sound section and lacks the ability to adjust the maximum zoom level, respectively.
