Issues unresolved

Poor Performance

Instructions
Instructions

Control issues

Many users are reporting the mouse + keyboard controls being unresponsive.[2]

Pop-in issues

The game has severe pop-in issues, and there is no settings for changing the render distance.[2]

Crash to Desktop

General

The game will crash to the desktop if your system does not meet the minimum GPU requirement and does not have a CPU supporting SSE 4.1.[3][4]
The developer is actively working to reduce the required level of SSE support.[5]

Corrupted Settings File

If the game crashes to the desktop even if your system meets the system requirements and have a CPU supporting SSE 4.1, your settings file may be corrupted.
Instructions

Screen Tearing

The game has screen tearing while in the borderless mode. The borderless mode does not seem to be real borderless mode which is also proven by the fact that the mouse cursor moves at the fps of the game, and that the screen flickers very shortly on alt tabbing/windows key. Also has screen tearing regardless of settings except if the ingame vsync is turned on, and fullscreen is enabled. Forcing Vsync through GPU control panel has no effect.[citation needed]
