==Issues fixed==
 
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===
 
{{--}} When playing at high refresh rates or in windowed/borderless windowed modes, the game will cap the frame rates to low values (e.g. 48 FPS on 144&nbsp;Hz monitors, or 55 FPS at 165&nbsp;Hz).<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/731490/discussions/0/1729828401671950470/#c1729828401671957947|title=48 fps? :: Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy General Discussions|date=2019-07-16}}</ref> As well, if using G-Sync or FreeSync, this can introduce further issues like lowering the game's frame rate down to as low as 15 FPS.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/731490/discussions/0/1643167006282732938/|title=15 FPS ... What kind of BS is this game? (Tried N-Vidia panel fix and did not worked)  :: Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy General Discussion|date=2019-07-16}}</ref> The only way to play at higher frame rates is to use exclusive fullscreen mode, which enforces 60&nbsp;Hz by default. Forcing a higher refresh rate allows the game to run at higher frame rates.

===Restore native DualShock 4 V2 support===
 
{{++}} The game has native support for the DualShock 4 V1.

# Search for the text string '''05C4'''.
 
# Replace it with '''09CC'''.

===Game fails to launch, with 0xc0000005 exception code in the Windows Event Viewer===
 
{{Fixbox|description=Disable DSR/VSR or connect to a lower resolution display.|fix=
 
* The game will crash when enumerating resolutions that are too high on first launch, possibly those above 3840x2160.
 
* Disabling NVIDIA DSR or AMD VSR, or connecting to a lower resolution display should allow the game to start.
 
* Once the game has started for the first time, you can re-enable DSR/VSR or connect up your high resolution displays and it should continue to work.
