📀 Steam Version
⚙️ Lowest Settings

NOTES: DO NOT turn Frame Generation on in the settings, the game will crash with a Fatal Error and you will need to hunt for a file in the compatdata folder and disable it through the ini file to fix, otherwise the game will not load. Uninstalling and Reinstalling the game may fix it, but using Lossless Scaling is the only other viable alternative at present on SteamOS/Linux.
