Game plays well and looks good, but be sure to keep the resolution at default. When the game is up scaled it experiences micro-stutter, and it seems the higher the upscale the more the stutter. Bios v 2.0 was used. | Zrooney |

Plays at a constant 60 fps. However, the player model turns invisible after a while. Bios USA v02.30 was used. | Techguy95 |

1.7.2184 | OpenGL | built-in | BIOS: USA v02.30. Goes ingame and runs stable at full speed, as long as "Blending Accuracy" is set to "High" or lower. Some lighting effects will be missing, making the game look darker than intended (see screenshots). This can only be fixed by setting "Blending Accuracy" to "Full" which causes slowdowns for me as my GPU goes up to 100% load. If you have a high-end GPU, try "Full". If not, go SW mode or try to live with the darker look. | TomBoss |
