No surround sound
Issues unresolved
Playing in 4:3 resolutions like 1600x1200(useful for non-widescreen monitors and projectors) results in some menu screens displaying incorrectly: the left and right hand sides of the screen are clipped (as if "zoomed in" too far), so important information cannot be seen (like journal details and the map legend). Screens affected include: Map, Party Selection, Planet details, and Journal. Currently the only known fix is to use a 16:9 screen resolution when playing, like 1920x1080.
Black screen after loading a save

Game simply doesn't start
Launcher crashes (retail)
Failed to compile shader ** error
Therum missing textures
If this however wouldn't fix the problem. The issue is not to be found anywhere else than on Therum.
