Issues fixed

Developer-recommended general fixes (Windows)

If you are on a laptop, make sure your power settings are allowing your computer to run at max settings  Update your graphics drivers, audio drivers, chipset drivers and DirectX  Change process priority for the game to "high" in the task manager  Run the game in compatibility mode  Run the game with administrator privileges  Run the executable directly from the installation folder instead of from the Steam client  Run the game in windowed mode and re-size the game to be small  If you're on Windows, make sure you update your DirectX 9.0c (not just Dx10/11!) You can do that with this download  Move your game installation folder  Disable D3dOVERRIDER  For NVIDIA users: Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to 3D Settings and lower everything to minimum values.
