- The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unity page for more details.
- Supports NVIDIA DLSS, Reflex and Highlights.
- DLSS sharpening factor can be changed in config file through
dlssSharpnessparameter. - The game is severely single core performance CPU bound in terms of mesh handling which results in software CPU bottleneck in high mesh density areas like prematch island or Celestra (or any place where many players are present at once), severity of this issue scales with "Modeling accuracy" ingame setting which handles LOD / mesh rendering distances.
