Issues unresolved

Screen Tearing

Game suffers from screen tearing in borderless mode regardless of settings. Only enabling V-Sync in fullscreen fixes the issue. Forcing V-Sync through GPU control panel has no effect.^{[citation needed]}

Users of AMD GPUs have reported that enabling V-Sync in their GPU control panel's Global Settings solves the issue across all fullscreen types. The game's own V-Sync setting has no effect one way or the other, nor does the game's specific profile in the GPU control panel.

Notes

↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1
Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/275850/.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (275850) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
