Graphics Change

All graphics changing requires a restart, otherwise visual elements will be missing from the game.[5]

Nvidia Card Performance

The game is optimized for AMD cards, and thus Nvidia cards can post low FPS for the auto detected settings. Setting "Enable Quality Anti-Aliasing" and "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" to Normal should noticeably improve FPS.

Issues unresolved

'HkShip.exe has stopped working'

To be resolved issue.[6]

'Can't choose custom refresh rate'

When selecting resolution in video options, only pre-made presets are available, user can't choose to change refresh rate, which often force players to play in windowed mode.

'Can't force game into fullscreen'

The game starts in windowed mode and no matter what you do it just stays in windowed mode. Alt+ Enter doesn't work and neither does setting the video option to fullscreen.

POTENTIAL FIX: Close TeamViewer if installed. (Note: The issue with TeamViewer is the "QuickConnect" feature, which puts a little arrow next to the close, minimize, etc. buttons. Go into TeamViewer's advanced settings to disable this, and you can run TeamViewer with Sleeping Dogs in full screen at the same time.

POTENTIAL FIX: Close (or stop) Actual Multiple Monitors, or other multi-monitor software if installed.

Issues fixed

Constantly Scrolling Up

Caused by controller drivers.
