Dark layer example.
Higher resolutions (e.g. 3440x1440, 3840x2160) may have an intrusive dark layer overlapping gameplay.[3][4]
Instructions

Console doesn't open when pressing the tilde (console) key

Add an English keyboard through Windows and push Alt+ Shift to switch. Placeholder fix.

No in-game audio

Instructions

Major screen tearing when Windows Aero is disabled while in a borderless mode

This is due to Aero's double buffering.
Instructions

Missing face textures while using SLI or CrossFire

Currently the game does not support SLI and CrossFire, which might cause missing face textures on the main character. (e.g. Black face texture, wrong skin color etc.)
Crossfire appears to work fine when the CrossfireX Application profile is set to TESV.exe (Skyrim) (big fps gain on my 2x5870)

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>/377160/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (377160) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
