Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 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. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/838310/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (838310) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    There appears to be no more screen tearing as of v1.1.2 without having Vsync forced on by Nvidia Control Panel from previous versions which did exhibit screen tearing issues.

    Disabling XInput API, everything works. Disabling DirectInput API, not even Xbox controllers work.
