How to Apply the Ryzen Performance Launch Option
If you are experiencing black screen flickering, FPS drops, or weird mouse sensitivity while playing on a Ryzen processor, the developer has introduced a dedicated launch option to resolve these specific errors.

Resolving Lost Upgrades and Abilities
