Issues unresolved
Could not open the game fullscreen
- Game states it could not be opened fullscreen with desired resolution, tries to start up in windowed mode and stops responding moment later.
- Possibly Windows 8 related issue.
Erratic frame rate
On some systems you may have an erratic frame rate; the gameplay seems faster than normal, but is balanced by a short pause every second. Systems experiencing this issue may also encounter a crash slightly later.
Under Fraps, you may either see the frame rate remain at 60 FPS (as if VSync was active), or it may be slightly off.
Possible fix: Adjust detail settings to maximum or default.
