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.
- Issue fixed in the Definitive Edition.

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.

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] |
---|
