Issues unresolved
Crash on startup
- Caused by an incompatibility with the sound drivers or audio codecs. The only solution is to play the game with the
-safemode
command line argument, which runs the game without sound.
Issues fixed
Slow level loading
- Occurs only on Windows Vista and 7, because of the special graphic stack WDDM.[9]
Disable Windows Aero[10] |
---|
Peripheral audio channels cut off
- The game does not properly play sounds coming from any direction except front and indirect sounds (player actions, music, interface, reverb). This makes it difficult to use audio cues during gameplay, such as when getting shot or hit from behind, resulting in unfair deaths.
Set sound properties to 96000 Hz[11] |

Notes

Keegan mission bug
Keegan doesn't move and cannot get through the broken gate.
