Notes

After completing the steps, the game can be set back to Fullscreen.

(As above or) "create2dtexture failed 887a0005" crash during Bog mission loading

Disable these setting:[7][8]

Shader Preload And alternatively: Sun shadow caching Spot shadow caching

In case of 20-30 FPS drops on 6GB GPUs, lower texture setting to high.

Mouse skipping/jerking/jumping

Mouse can skip/jerk/jump around suddenly (even with mouse acceleration off) causing large unintended turns.[9]
Lower mouse report/polling rate[10]

Lower the polling rate (reports per second) in the software for your mouse (such as Logtech Gaming Software or Razer Synapse) to a lower value; such as 125 or 250.

Issues with low framerate or frame pacing

Game can feel as if it is running at a lower framerate than it actually is.
Run the game in Windowed Fullscreen

Change display settings to Windowed Fullscreen and see if this fixes your issue. If the low framerate still persists, try hitting Alt+Enter once to return to windowed, and again to return to fullscreen.

Long or indefinite loading times, especially going into The Bog mission

Game loads for a very long time or indefinitely.
Disable Shader Preload in Advanced Video

Shader preload can cause issues specifically going into The Bog mission. Disabling it should let you load into the mission.

Game won't start and no error displayed

The application does not start beyond showing the launcher art for a few seconds.
Launch in compatibility mode

Navigate to your install location, right click the application .exe and select Properties. Run it in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8.
