Issues fixed

Mouse aiming deadzone

By default, the game has a mouse "deadzone" effect that ignores small mouse movements. This can make precision aiming with ranged weapons difficult to impossible. An option to disable this feature has been included with one of the patches.
Under "Mouse & Keyboard Settings", set "Mouse Deadzone" to "off"[citation needed]

Game fails to launch

The game fails to launch with mirrored screens, disable mirrored screens in display settings.
