Issues unresolved

Game crashing

The game sometimes crashes, mostly at the beginning when entering the hangar. Regardless of the crash, the game will likely be saved before the crash so you don't lose the progress and likely will not crash. If it still does, try doing something that will break the cycle (going to the menu, selecting weapons etc.) and if that doesn't, then reinstall the game or install outside Program Files.

Issues fixed

Incessant camera spinning
