Key points

Poor optimization with random slowdowns; rebooting your computer may fix it.
Controller layout is only designed for Logitech Dual Action or similar controllers[1] and buttons cannot be remapped.[2]

Issues unresolved

Low frame-rate

The game may sometimes run in a low frame-rate, and even if your hardware meets the recommended requirements, the game may not run in the proper speed. Rebooting the computer may address this issue but it is not guaranteed to remedy the performance issues entirely.[5]

Fullscreen plays at 4:3

Despite running at a resolution of 1000x600, attempting to play the game in fullscreen mode causes the game to display at a 4:3 resolution instead.[6]

Settings do not save

Despite creating files that might indicate configuration data, they do nothing at all and the game does not retain setting changes upon exiting the game.[7]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/341440/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (341440) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
