Issues unresolved

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.

Notes

  1. 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>/16720/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (16720) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
