Mouse/Camera issues
Mouse Problems: the game does NOT work well with multi-monitor setups. I use 2 monitors and when I launch the game, its fine in the menu but the mouse and camera go crazy when in-game.
Workaround: physically disconnect ALL other monitors, yank the DVI, HDMI or DP cord out of the extra monitors or gpu leaving ONLY the primary monitor connected.

Conclusion
With the compatibility settings, mouse info and supplementary tools, you should be able to get the game running. I am able to play in 3840x2160 @ 60FPS with these settings. Please leave a comment if something doesn't work for you or if you have anything additional to add.
