- "For future reference, this mod does what many others do these days, runs the game in borderless fullscreen mode. This is all you need to fix the performance on AMD cards. There isn't any kind of magic here. If you can no longer find a working mirror for this, any other mod that runs games in borderless fullscreen mode should work."
