Issues unresolved
Hivebusters resets upgrades and checkpoints
Continuing the Hivebusters dlc after quitting in the middle of a chapter resets both the chapter progress as well as the player upgrades.[3] |
---|
Issues fixed
- If PC is still connected to the modem, but without internet[4] or the game servers are having issues, the game will not identify the lack of internet. This causes an infinite loading-screen when trying to load the main menu as the game keeps trying to communicate with its servers.
- Starting the game in offline mode will delete your checkpoint progress and start you at the beginning of the chapter you were playing.
- After 24hrs offline you will be required to connect to your Xbox Live account; failing to do so will not allow you to play the game nor access the main menu with error "Unable to connect to Xbox Live account, please connect online in order to continue".
