Issues unresolved

Multi-player matches ignore volume settings

When playing on a multi-player server, the in-game volume settings will be ignored; however, if you play an Instant Action game, the in-game settings will be respected.[4]

2D menu images stretched when using multi-monitor setup

Will be fixed in future update.[5]

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 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>/266470/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (266470) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
