Additional Comments

Enabling CSMT can boost performance significantly.

A dotnet installation is not needed for the game. To disable the steam installation of dotnet edit the installscript.vdf file in the games install directory, and remove the lines below. Then set the file to read only to prevent updates reverting it.

        "DotNet"
        {
            "HasRunKey"        "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Valve\\Steam\\Apps\\200260"
            "process 1"        "%INSTALLDIR%\\Setup\\DotNetFx35.exe"
            "command 1"        "/q"
            "NoCleanUp"        "1"
        }
