[Crash on launch] CTD / Minimise [Workaround]
We’re aware of reports from players stating the game stays minimised after launching. We believe this is caused by resolution settings.
➜ [Workaround]: this can be caused by programs stealing focus, such as skype or anti-software. We recommend closing all background applications.This can also be caused by having Virtual Super Resolutions enabled (supersampling). We recommend turning this off for now.You can go into the game’s .ini file and manually set the resolution to the correct one, and that should help. For info on how to do this, please contact our support.
