Key points
- Poor port with many bugs and issues that have not been fixed.[1] For example, if one wants to access the settings whilst in-game, one must quit to the main menu.[2] Furthermore, there are many problems with the game remembering remapped keys.[3]

Video settings
- Video settings can be changed by editing

Widescreen resolution
Title Update 1.2 will lock the resolution to 720p.[5]. Patching to Title Update 1.4 resolves a lot of video resolution problems, and enables the game to be played in most resolutions and in Eyefinity set ups.
Nvidia SLI Performance Increase
User r3mx_D has devised a performance increase setting for those using Nvidia cards in SLI mode to make full use of the second card in SLI. Without this setting, the second card is only utilised 0-1%.[6]
Using Nvidia Control Panel, one needs to apply settings to these exe files:
future soldier.exe and launcher.exe
And apply the setting:
Force alternate frame rendering 2

Issues unresolved
Steam Multiplayer
Any time you connect to a host with a different patch, you will be booted within 10-15 seconds of connecting. This is because the Steam version of the game is different to other multiplayer hosts or clients.[7]
Issues fixed
Mouse Won't Work
Whilst the keyboard and mouse may be selectable within the game menu, but does not work in the game. Uninstalling the drivers for any installed gamepads fixes for some people.[8]
Game does not go fullscreen correctly
Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier and edit default.cfg, change the resolution, save, then set the file to read only.
Mouse not clipping to the game window
Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier and edit default.cfg; change fullscreen from True to False, save, then set the file to read only.
