Issues fixed

DirectX 10 issues

DirectX 10 mode is not optimized and when enabled can cause large performance drops on high end computers. Disabling Ambient Occlusion can enable a ~30 FPS performance boost.

Some modern computers running in DirectX 10 mode may experience an issue with the Sun and other light sources being visible through the terrain and solid objects. Activating DirectX 9 mode can resolve this issue.

  • To activate DirectX 9 mode, add -nod3d10 to the launch parameters. You'll lose sun rays and ambient occlusion, but performance is radically better.

The issue has also been reported to be permanently fixed by uninstalling the Windows update "kb2670838" to Internet Explorer 10.[1]

  • To uninstall this update, go to Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program, click View installed updates and search for "kb2670838" and uninstall the update. Restart the computer, and it's finished. Removing the update is harmless, and it can be installed again through Microsoft's Windows update website.

Game crashes while playing

Playing the game with keyboard and mouse with a controller connected can cause the game to crash.
