- Comment: Recommend putting -DX12 in game launch options to make the game use DirectX 12 and not 11.
Cursor is put in top-left corner when focusing the game, and will trigger hot corners if you have them, recommend turning off the top-left hot corner during play.
If controller is disconnected during play, it will not register until the game is restarted, and also can mess with the mouse being recognised as camera movement and menu interactions, but all other controls remain functional. I also believe the controller will not be registered if connected post-launch.
FPS drops during SAS activation can be mitigated by turning the animation off in the game's settings.
