At the time of writing this review, I have completed the main campaign 100% and the expansion TLAD 100%. I am just starting playing with the 2nd expansion, TBOGT. I am playing this with no mods installed yet.

OK, first things first. The game does not run well on modern systems but this can easily be fixed with some tweaking. If you have a PC that is at least 5 years or later, the game will run well if you set the Launch options to "nomemrestrict -norestrictions -availablevidmem 4096". If your VRam is more than 8GB, just change the value of 4,096. This value is the VRAM. As I am playing on a laptop with 3050M TI graphics, the VRAM of this card is only 4GB.

Once that is done, the game will work fine MOST of the time. However for some missions, especially the last one in the main game, you got to limit your FPS to 30 to progress. Moreover, in TLAD "Get Lost" mission, set affinity to 0 cores under task manager. This must also be done for one more mission in TBOGT.

Other than these minor irritating hiccups, I strongly recommend this game. This is a classic with a vast open world.
