Issues unresolved
- The game has a tendency to crash when returning to main menu from gameplay, sometimes reloading your profile while the game is loaded, and before said cutscene. For the latter case, the game saves right before it and you can continue playing normally by launching the game again.
Issues fixed
Pixelated slow motion camera
Decrease motion blur in the game options.[citation needed] |
