WARNING

BEFORE DOING ANYTHING - make sure Serio’s Cycle Hotkeys - Quickset Update is disabled in the left pane.

The following settings are all RECOMMENDATIONS. We've given you the list, we walked you through the install... but in the end, how you play the game is up to you. Enjoy the game.

CAUTION

BEFORE DOING ANY OTHER SETTINGS - Predator Vision is sometimes problematic in initializing. We HIGHLY recommend testing it before you do anything else. If it doesn't work, you will need to create a new character.

NOTE

The Guide was assembled with the "Adept" difficulty level in mind. This is the recommended difficulty.
