Issues unresolved
Crash to desktop during Hunter/Hunted
- This issue blocks the continuation of a quest-chain.
- Approaching the quest objective will result in a crash to desktop without any errors. As of current, if you wish to progress the quest-line, you will have to teleport into the related building and then teleport to an area that does not crash the game.

Entering Cambridge Police Station makes the player fall through the ground[3][4]
- This issue may block the continuation of a quest-chain.
- You may speak to characters inside the building if you enable noclip: open the console and enter
tcl
. - To exit the building afterwards, as the doors did not spawn in, you must teleport to another location, i.e.
coc sanctuaryExt
.
Issues fixed

Graphical issues during rainy weather
Instructions |

Dark shadow layer over gameplay
- Higher resolutions (e.g. 3440x1440, 3840x2160) may have an intrusive dark layer overlapping gameplay.[5][6]

Excessive Screen Tearing
- When using [Windowed][Borderless] in Windows 7 & 8
Instructions |

Missing face textures
- Currently the game does not support SLI and CrossFire, which might cause missing face textures on the main character. (e.g. Black face texture, wrong skin color etc.)
- Crossfire appears to work fine when the CrossfireX Application profile is set to TESV.exe (Skyrim) (big fps gain on my 2x5870)
Instructions |

Permanent Slow-motion Bug
- This bug may occur when using Jet, or any other item that slows down time in-game.
- You will be stuck in a slow motion state across all your saves. Reloading or waiting will not fix this.
