Issues unresolved
Naz stucks in prologue
During the first/Prologue mission 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 run straight Naz will spawn someway ahead before the cutscene sequence. This issue still happens in the up-to-date original version. Doesn't seem to happen in the initial release version without dlcs. Note: Definitive Edition is unaffected.
HkShip.exe has stopped working
To be resolved issue.[12]
Run the game in compatibility mode[citation needed] |
---|
Run the game in a lower quality[citation needed] |
---|
Can't choose custom refresh rate
- When selecting resolution in video options, only pre-made presets are available, user can't choose to change refresh rate, which often force players to play in windowed mode.
Can't force game into fullscreen
- The game starts in windowed mode and no matter what you do it just stays in windowed mode. Alt+↵ Enter doesn't work and neither does setting the video option to fullscreen.
Close TeamViewer if installed[citation needed] |
---|
Disable TeamViewer's QuickConnect[citation needed] |
---|
|
Close (or stop) Actual Multiple Monitors, or other multi-monitor software if installed[citation needed] |
---|
Change monitor's refresh rate to the native one[citation needed] |
---|
Issues fixed
Constantly scrolling up
- Caused by controller drivers.
Disable Human Interface Devices[13] |
---|
|
FPS issues and/or stuttering
- The game may lag or stutter on high-end systems, particularly during day time.[14]
Run the game in windowed mode[citation needed] |
---|
|
Black screen during cutscenes
Reinstall the game[15] |
---|
Disable 'Cheat' DLC
- DLC can be selectively disabled from the game's properties in the Steam client.[16]
- Game features DLC that give unbalanced bonuses for player. Some people may not realize this when buying DLC packs.
Instructions[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Can't remap to arrow keys
- Can be remapped to number pad arrow keys, but not standard arrow keys.[17]
Enable arrow key movement[citation needed] |
---|
up::w down::s left::a right::d Numpad8::up Numpad5::down Numpad4::left Numpad6::right NumpadAdd::Enter NumpadEnter::Backspace
|
Low performance on Nvidia cards
- The game is optimized for AMD cards, and thus Nvidia cards can post low FPS for the auto detected settings.[citation needed]
Improve frame rate[citation needed] |
---|
Setting "Enable Quality Anti-Aliasing" and "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" to Normal should noticeably improve FPS. |
