Notes
|
Cage cursor option not working
- There seems to be an issue with Cage cursor option, where the game is not locking mouse cursor to the game window/screen on multi-monitor system each time player changes location.
Alt-tab from the game and return back[citation needed] |
---|
No ultra wide screen resolution on Linux
- Some Linux distributions have reported that they can't set ultra widescreen resolutions (21:9) in the options menu.
Work around[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Slow loading screens on some system configurations
- The auto-save feature cannot be disabled and will save during every area transition. As the game progresses and the save file size increases, this can cause loading times to increase.
Update and mod[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Wobbling text
- Text on tooltips can vibrate / flicker.
Change font scale[3][4] |
