Issues fixed
KB+M input does not work
- KB+M input is only accessible on computers that have never seen non-KBM USB devices and have no software HIDs (common with third-party input software, e.g. Razer's).[9]
Physically remove and disable all other virtual and physical XInput devices.[citation needed] |
---|
|
Low frame rate
Enable Shadow Cache[citation needed] |
---|
|
Lighting issues
- Glitchy/Noisy Shadows
Try setting Ambient Occlusion from HBAO+ to SSAO, if you already using SSAO, use second tip. |
---|
Try setting Reflections to 'Off' or 'Variable' |
---|
Blurry Game
Set antialiasing to TAA. TAA+FXAA cause game to be blurry. SMAA looks worse than TAA. |
---|
No voices audio
- The new version of the game forces 3d audio by default which causes the problem of no audio on unsupported systems
Delete MSSpatial.dll at the path of the game[citation needed] |
