Issues unresolved
Windows
Freezing and crashing
There seems to be a problem on some systems that game crashes every few minutes and/or freezes whole system.[4][5]
2K is aware of this issue and there should be patch soon.[citation needed] It seems to be related to i7 processors.
Fixes that works for some users
- If you have issues with the game immediately crashing on start-up, make sure you disable any on-screen display applications (showing FPS/GPU usage) like MSI Afterburner.
- Disable overclocking or underclock your graphics card.
- Disable Killer e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller or any other virtual/VPN network adapters like Hamachi.[6]
Issues fixed
Texture streaming quality problems
- When the game can't detect or detects wrong video memory size, it automatically enables only Very Low and Low options for texture quality.
- There is also an issue on some systems that selection Very High or Ultra for texture quality will cause to textures never load properly and game tries to load them over and over.[7]
