Issues fixed
- Various fixes can be found in the Steam Users' Forum FAQ by the developer.
DPI scaling issues and blurry, pixelated visuals
- If a DPI scaling setting higher than "100%" is selected in Windows, the game can look blurry or may be too large to properly fit the screen.
Enable the "high DPI settings override" in the compatibility settings of the game executable[citation needed] |
---|
Low FPS on Windows 10
- After updating to Windows 10, reaching 60 FPS is impossible even on good hardware.
Run the game with the -nofixedstep command line argument and enable V-sync in-game[citation needed]
|
---|
Lost savegames
- When starting the game, all or some save games are missing.[5]
Move saves to a new location[5] |

|
Game crashes during launch
Install Microsoft XNA Framework 4.0 or 3.1[6] |
---|
Opt into Legacy Beta on Steam[7] |
---|
|
Close the MSI Afterburner overlay[citation needed] |
