Issues unresolved
Naz gets stuck in prologue
During the intro sequence, you're supposed to follow Naz to escape the police. While escaping the fish market after climbing over the crates, Naz gets stuck in that area and the animation sequence where Wei does a jump takedown to a policeman fails to trigger. However, if the player choose to continue running, Naz will respawn ahead before the cutscene sequence. This issue still happens in the up-to-date original version.
- No issues for game versions made before any DLC updates.
