Key points
- Supports Hardware PhysX and allows for additional PhysX effects on Nvidia cards.
- Badly optimized and has numerous problems with performance, even on systems with specs way above recommended ones.[1]
- Poor implementation of Shader Model 4.0. It's recommended to use Shader Model 2.0 or 3.0 instead.[2]

- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/7850/
. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (7850) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
