Issues unresolved[edit]

Aiming FOV is unaffected by FOV setting[edit]

The aiming FOV is currently unaffected by the FOV setting. This means that the aimed FOV remains 60, even if the regular FOV increases up to 100.

Microstuttering[edit]

Many players on the Steam forums are reporting major microstuttering on Nvidia GPUs (Kepler only?).

Low frame rate[edit]

Disabling "Screen space reflections" can drasticly improve the frame rate.

Issues fixed[edit]

Large frame rate drop when aiming[edit]

Disable vsync if you have large frame rate drops when aiming.
