60 FPS | |||
120+ FPS | By default the game is capped at 62fps - install the latest patch, then enable in-game Vsync to bypass FPS cap.[7] This will disable frame limiter but also cap framerate to refresh rate - game is forced to 60Hz. You can then disable Vsync using Nvidia control panel to fully unlock the framerate. Another method is to disable full screen optimizations for the game application in the game directory folder. For higher refresh rate see Run the game at screen refresh rate | ||

Issues unresolved
Steam Multiplayer
- Anytime you connect to a host with a different patch, you will be booted within 10–15 seconds of connecting because the Steam version is different to other multiplayer hosts or clients.[10]
Issues fixed
Can't connect to Co-op games
Instructions[11] |

|
Crash After Launch
- The game launches fine (tested on the Steam Version) but crashes right after it sets itself to Fullscreen.
In Uplay's main settings, disable the in-game overlay. Should be the 3 ticked box from the top, just un-tick. |

Mouse Won't Work
- Keyboard and mouse may be selectable within the game menu but do not work in-game.
Uninstall the drivers for any installed gamepads[12] |
