Issues fixed[edit]

Crashes after splashcreen[edit]

Fix How to fix

Information If using a GTX 570 graphics card, you may have to lower your clock speed to 720-760 MHz.
  1. Go to the installation folder.
  2. Edit options.cfg. Add these three lines, one of them is likely to fix your problem: 
-motionblurscale:0.0
-d3d9
-noptt
Information This turns off motionblur, uses DirectX9, and turns off push-to-talk. The most likely culprit is the motionblur, so you might only have to change that.

Other Crashes/Instability[edit]

Fix How to fix

Information Update graphics/sound drivers to their latest versions.
Information If using Steam, verify the game cache.
