Comically, the settings are not all at their highest settings by default.
I got an error when trying to start the tutorial campaign:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Pressing continue on the above dialog only dismisses it.
alt-f4 doesn't exit the game, it brings up a console. So does plain f4 or the classic backtick ( ` )
I had to kill the task and re-try, and then the tutorial campaign loaded.
- In between I did kill a steam process too, which may have helped.
It took me a very long time to figure out how to move my ships by single-clicking on the Earth, then right-clicking on Proxima Centauri.

Ugh, boring.
