Private Matchmaking lobbies
- Private matches can be created more easily by using the Custom Game option. This hack of sorts is intended for private ranked matchmaking lobbies only.
- Although not an official option, it is possible to play privately on matchmaking mode by using the -internalid command line argument.[2]
- This option will force the game to connect only with players who are using the same internalid.

Issues fixed
Stuttering
- Stuttering can be caused by high framerates (>60 FPS).
- Turning on V-sync resolves this problem.[3]
Launcher.exe has stopped working (Windows 8)
- Application crashes with error message: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
- Running Launcher.exe in compatibility mode for Windows 7 will fix this error.
Low Audio Volume
- Volume level is very soft in game.
- Fix the issue by going to Control Panel => Hardware and Sound => Sound. On the communications tab, choose "do nothing". (Note: This fix also applies to Batman: Arkham Origins.)
Issues unresolved
Missing objects on ATI Radeon HD3000
(also on entry-level Radeon HD4000; mid- and high-end models work fine)
- Objects like the water and boost pads, essential to gameplay, will not render at all.[4]
- No single fix for every system.
- This is a driver issue, and not much can be done about it.
- It may be partially fixed by messing about with the game's settings and window (minimizing, moving it, or even opening UAC prompts),[5] but even this will only make the objects slightly visible and still hard to see.

Water section of Seasonal Shrines. Not pictured: water.
- SART radeonhd3000 partialfix oceanview.png
Water section of Ocean View, partially fixed. The water is visible now, but only slightly. The water may be easier or harder to see, depending on the specific track.
Shadow stripes
- This occurs on some old NVIDIA GPUs, like the GeForce 7600GS (AGP8x). Unfortunately, there is no known fix.[6]

Shadow stripes, the ultimate annoyance!

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>/212480/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (212480) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
