Notes

Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Disable depth of field
- This only disables depth of field on background and when not aiming.
- This enhances antialiasing on forests and objects that are near, stabilizes the frame rate fluctuation, fixes the low-res textures on the background and can give a huge FPS boost in open view areas, for example, on the top of a tower.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
|
Disable HDR
- Disabling HDR improves performance.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
|
Disable ambient occlusion
- Ambient occlusion can't be disabled completely through the in-game settings when playing in DirectX 11, only switched to various techniques available (SSAO, HBAO, HDAO).
- Use of SSAO makes MSAA useless because the way it's implemented[3]
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Disable motion blur
- Disabling also helps to reduce input lag.
- Even if motion blur is handled by PostFX setting, completely disabling PostFX doesn't seem to work. It can be disabled with
<post>
in configuration file but game seems to remove it with every launch.

- Negative mouse acceleration prevents fast mouse movements. Mouse acceleration option in the Options menu does not fix the negative effect.

Instructions |
---|
Nvidia GeForce 500-series cards[9] |
---|
Raising your GPU Core Voltage by 25/50 mV may fix crashes. For step-by-step instructions see reference |
Textures and artifacting
Issues fixed
Change UI language

Microstutter
Adaptive and dynamic V-sync[citation needed] |
---|
|
CPU Affinity in Windows 8.1[citation needed] |
---|

Notes
|
Game stuck on first skill tree

Multiplayer weapons will not level up
- Weapons earn EXP and level up during matches, but do no retain EXP post-game; weapons stay at level 1 indefinitely.
Copy the save file to alternate path[citation needed] |
---|
|

When using a C:\ drive with limited space such as an SSD, the game will not install onto a secondary drive even if you have sufficient free space.
Copy temporary files[citation needed] |
---|
|
Change temp folders location to different drive[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
First loading screen stalls or takes excessive amounts of time
Kill WmiPrvSE.exe[citation needed] |
---|
|

The Game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Windows 8/8.1 Storage Space.
Installing the game on a drive that is not a Storage Space will fix this issue[citation needed] |
---|
Game crashes on Windows 10
The game tends to crash after about 20 minutes of playing on Windows 10 devices
Disable TabletInputService in Task Manager[citation needed] |
---|
|
