You guys may want to update the info regarding the Windows 10 release, since it was released March first. You may also want to consider adding a section regarding the notably rocky launch on PC. The game was released with the following issues:

  • Forced Vsync with no actual unlocked framerate option like we were promised; turning off locked framerate in the video settings simply locks the framerate to your monitor's refresh rate instead of locking it at 30 FPS.
  • Visual corruption on AMD cards due to the game's ambient occlusion using HBAO+ (a proprietary Nvidia technology) with no option provided to let you enable ambient occlusion without also enabling HBAO+.
  • No support for SLI or CrossFireX.
  • No support for ultrawide monitors, as no 21:9 aspect ratio resolutions are available.
  • Enabling Nvidia GSYNC causes performance issues; no support for AMD FreeSync.
  • No true fullscreen option; setting the game to fullscreen simply runs the game in a borderless window.
  • Forced mouse acceleration.
  • Locked game directory; game settings files cannot be edited. If a user does manage to edit them, the game changes them back during a validation process at start up.
  • No overlays or FPS counters are able to be used with the game, and only a Microsoft proprietary feature is supported for streaming.

Gotta need a "official" source, for the issues stuff. Once we start listing one bug, it will open a flood gate to everysingle complaint about GoW.--JacktheBlack (talk) 23:38, March 9, 2016 (UTC)

Sure thing. I'll get a few links for you.
