| Widescreen resolution | 16:9; other aspect ratios are letterboxed.[3] | ||
| Multi-monitor | Requires Title Update 1.4 or newer; install Title Update 1.8. | ||
| Ultra-widescreen | Stretched[4] | ||

| Field of view (FOV) | |||
| Windowed | Must edit config file, and cannot change resolution in-game. Window is always on top, blocking other windows. |
||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | |||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | |||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | |||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | Double buffered. | ||
| 60 FPS | |||
| 120+ FPS | By default the game is capped at 62 FPS - install the latest patch, then enable in-game Vsync to bypass FPS cap.[5] This will disable frame limiter but also cap framerate to refresh rate - game is forced to 60 Hz. Disable Vsync using the GPU's control panel to fully unlock the framerate. Another method is to disable fullscreen optimizations on the game executable. For higher refresh rate, see Run the game at screen refresh rate | ||

- Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.
Issues unresolved
Steam multiplayer
- When attempting to connect to a host with a different game version, the client will be booted within 10–15 seconds of connecting because the Steam version is different to other multiplayer hosts or clients.[10]
Issues fixed
Crash after launch
- The game launches fine (tested on the Steam Version) but crashes right after it sets itself to Fullscreen.
| In Uplay's main settings, disable the in-game overlay. Should be the 3 ticked box from the top, just un-tick. |

Mouse does not work
- Keyboard and mouse may be selectable within the game menu but do not work in-game.
| Uninstall the drivers for any installed gamepads[11] |

Run the game at screen refresh rate
- The game enforces your monitor's refresh rate to 60 Hz. If your monitor supports a higher refresh rate you can use Special K to run the game at your monitor's refresh rate. If using Special K with DX11 change UseFlipDiscard to false[13], this breaks HDR Retrofit but the rest of the features work.
