Several fixes for many issues.

(please bear with me while I edit this guide, it needs a lot of cleanup and tuning, I just wanted to publish it ASAP but I keep being locked out by Valve's crappy systems)

For this we're going to skip the horrible launcher that doesn't quite work for gamepads.

Remember that you have to run it at least once to actually config your resolution and enable XInput glyphs for the game -- this option is actually really nice and most modern games still don't support it.

I recently created a guide showing how to skip launchers, there are two main methods and it's explained with detail on it:

Easiest way is to use Lossless Scaling app, it's here on Steam. The free version is enough but the paid version is the best tool that exists for PC and you support an Ukranian developer.

Use a mod in Nexus Mods to skip the intro videos at launch.
