Performance patch
You can still run the older version of the game that uses DX11 if you have a really weak machine :
- Go to : <path-to-game>\launcher-configuration.json (open with a text editor)
- Find “fallback”: “DirectX 12” and change it to “fallback”: “DirectX 11”
To skip the annoying RED Launcher, you can add the “–launcher-skip” line in the game's launch option
