Stuttering Graphics
- When your PC has been up for a while (at least a week) or you use W8/10 (Fast Boot), the game will continually stutter regardless of the framerate, hardware capability, or OS. The game sets its pacing by using the Windows API QueryPerformanceCounter that returns a monotonically increasing total count of CPU cycles since boot. When it gets past 2^40, the game becomes unplayable. At that point, the only option is to reboot the computer.
Override QueryPerformanceCounter[3] |

Crash When Installed in a Storage Space
The game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Storage Space on Windows 8 and later.
Installing the Game on a drive that is not a Storage Space will fix this issue[citation needed] |
