Anti-aliasing (AA)
- Ambient Occlusion (AO) also includes a separate post-processing anti-aliasing pass.[7]
- Having the AA option enabled in conjunction with AO causes visual issues and the transition effect between LoD levels to be abrupt.[7][8]
High frame rate
- Cutscenes and menus will still be limited to 30 or 60 FPS.
- Breaks some parts of the game and can make it impossible to progress without disabling the framerate unlocker.[9]
- May cause other physics bugs and/or unexpected behavior.

Issues unresolved
White screen crash (both AMD and NVIDIA)
- Occasionally the game causes a driver crash/reset which it can not recover properly from.[10]
- The game continues playing in the background so if you're in a save zone you can quick save your progress by clicking on Esc+↵ Enter+↵ Enter. You should hear a chime sound effect when the game have been saved successfully.
- Terminate the game using either Alt+F4 or Alt+Tab ↹ followed by terminating it through the Task Manager in Windows.
- A correct fix for AMD is to install the graphics drivers 17.5.2.[11]
- Nvidia users can mitigate the issue by setting in-game graphics options to low and disabling various features in Nvidia's Control Panel.[12]

Game does not launch and only idle in the background
- Occasionally the game doesn't fully launch and
NieRAutomata.exe
remains idle in the background of Windows without any activity.[13] - The cause seems to be due to the DRM of Steam.[14]
