Issues fixed

Low audio volume

Enable surround sound[2][citation needed]

Use surround sound, either natively or through software (Razer Surround works fine).

Notes

Approximates surround sound without actual 5.1/7.1 hardware.
Virtualization is limited to discrete positions. Requires headphones and 3rd-party software. Lacks low tone range without specialized headphones.
Enable Loudness Equalization[citation needed]

Enabling Loudness Equalization under Enhancements in Speaker Properties alleviates this issue for users without headsets or users streaming through Steam Link.

Notes

Requires no specific hardware or 3rd-party software.
The volume contrast finesse will be lost. Far warcries, close explosions — all will sound blandly same.
Use Erquint's DDDA Sound Hack[citation needed]

The thread at Steam Guides explains how it works and has a download link.

Notes

Sound quality after the game loads user settings is untouched. Requires no specific hardware.
Requires 3rd-party software tampering with the game itself. Some clipping on the title screen.

Black Screen on start-up

Delete config.ini[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Delete config.ini.

Notes

May be caused by v-sync[citation needed]

Micro-stuttering when the framerate is capped at 60 FPS

Change the framerate cap to 30 FPS in the options menu, this will remove the stuttering problem[citation needed]

Notes

May not be a desirable option for anyone wishing to play at a framerate higher than the console versions.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 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>/367500/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (367500) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
