Issues fixed

Mouse control lost after alt-tabbing

Enable "Run the game in a window" in the settings section of the launcher^{[citation needed]}
If you see window borders in-game, press `Alt`+`↵ Enter` to change to a fullscreen window.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

The game may default the monitor's refresh rate to 60 Hz, resulting in reduced smoothness on high refresh rate monitors even if internal GPU render shows a high FPS.

Set refresh rate manually^{[citation needed]}
Use the `-hz=120` command line argument, where `120` is the screen refresh rate. Alternatively, if your monitor has a manual refresh rate toggle button, you can use that to switch to a higher refresh rate. Alternatively, you can disable fullscreen optimizations in the compatibility options for ZAT.exe in the bin folder.
