Issues fixed

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Frame rate is still capped to 60 FPS with this fix.
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Manual local installation may work better.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\EDF41.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].

Windows 10 mouse issues

Modify compatibility settings[1]
  1. Find the game executable EDF41.exe (open the game folder from Steam library: right click > properties > local files > browse local files).
  2. Right click > properties
  3. Compatibility tab > change high DPI settings > high DPI scaling override > enable "Override high DPI scaling behavior" > select "Application" in "Scaling performed by".
