Known issues when using this mod:1) The game does not work with overlays in Discord (disable the overlay in the settings), ReShade (the settings work, but the game constantly crashes), MSI Afterburner (the game does not even start);
2) MOST IMPORTANT: DO NOT MINIMIZE THE GAME USING ALT+TAB!!! (you will lose control of the game and it will freeze);
3) It is advisable not to close the game using ALT+F4, as this may reset your control settings each time (when you finish playing, simply exit through the game

Thanks to the mod's author for making me register on the site and write this comment. Below are the specs for a computer that can't handle this modding marvel.

5) And the icing on the cake, which made me give up on this mod: it turns out the SK injector doesn't even inject textures into the game. The description says that all files need to be installed in the game's directory, but in reality, the SK Res folder needs to be placed in your documents after the first launch of the game with the d3d11 file. And lo and behold, the textures will be injected.
