- If hitting enemies with melee weapons (like the bayonet) is difficult, try aiming slightly to the left of the intended target. The point of impact for most melee weapons is not exactly at the crosshair. For example, to hit an enemy on the head, try targetting a bit to the left of it.

Game does not launch (demo)
In case the game does not launch and instead displays a bluish window in one quarter of the screen, try lowering the desktop resolution to 1920x1080 or below. The game may have launch problems when the Windows resolution is too high. This problem only occurs in the demo, not in the full game.
