Issues unresolved
Example
- In the Epic Games Store build of the game, there are two extra options in the in-game options menu that only appear as the words
INVALID STRING IDwith an on/off toggle. - The first
INVALID STRING IDcontrols whether the Y axis is inverted when flying. - The second
INVALID STRING IDenables/disables the location icons on the compass.
AVG False Positive
A number of users have reported issues with the PC version of the game, whereby the anti-virus program AVG detects the dangerous Win32/Heur virus mid-installation.[8] This is a known false-positive, and AVG are aware of the issue.[9] Users of AVG can safely ignore the warning presented in this case.
Issues fixed
Cannot Disable 3D
Users with 3D capable Nvidia graphics cards may be unable to disable 3D Vision by unplugging the 3D adapter, or using the Nvidia Control Panel.[10] This issue can be resolved by pressing Ctrl+T in-game.
Stuttering or low framerate
- By default, the game places most of its processing load on the first CPU core only, which may cause stuttering and occasional framerate dips on some systems while when entering new areas through the map.Limiting the fps helps to keep the cpu usage from being so high.
| Limit the framerate to 60fps or enable vsync and set refresh rate on 60hz |

Mods
- See the Nu2 engine page for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support.[Note 2]

- Included in the Expanded Character Grid mod, below. The following steps are not necessary if using that mod.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (213330) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ Some PAK, PAC, and FPK files may not extract with the extraction of the four .DAT files; the contents of these can be extracted to the same directory as where they were stored[citation needed], using the same QuickBMS script as was used for the .DAT files.
- ↑ The levels Tower Defiance and Heroes Unite remain unchanged.
