Issues fixed

Graphical artifacts/glitches

This issue only appears with AMD Radeon cards, updating to the latest driver might fix it.[2]

Game runs too fast

Game is designed to run with 60 Hz monitor running 60 FPS with Vsync. With higher refresh rates this means game will run faster.
Sometimes simply playing with fullscreen mode fixes the issue.[3]
Either cap frame rate to 60 FPS externally or use games internal capper.
Activate cap with launch parameter[citation needed]
  1. Right click on the game in the Steam Library to open the context menu, and select "Properties".
  2. Click on the "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..." button.
  3. Type -r in the text field and click "OK".

FPS issues/slow gameplay

  • Using the "Fixed" frame rate method will activate frame skips which will allow the game to run at regular speed. Online play is always rendered using the Fixed frame rate method.[3]
  • Setting backgrounds to "Static" will drastically reduce processing, thus increasing FPS.[3]
  • Try running the game in windowed mode.[3]
Launch option[citation needed]
  1. Right click on the game in the Steam Library to open the context menu, and select "Properties".
  2. Click on the "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..." button.
  3. Type -w in the text field and click "OK".

Game crash after intro logos

    • Windows XP: press ⊞ Win+R, type appwiz.cpl and press ↵ Enter, choose Add/Remove Windows Components.
  3. If problems persist, try the -v method below.
Disable hardware acceleration for WMV files[citation needed]
This may cause performance issues when watching WMV videos
  1. Open Windows Media Player
  2. In the Tools menu, select Options (if you don't see the menu bar, press Alt and select the Tools menu in the menu that appears)
  3. Select the Performance tab

  2. Click on the "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..." button.
  3. Type -v in the text field and click "OK".
