Issues unresolved
Stuttering when opening the map
- Accessing the map after using the mouse to interact with inventory items such as loadout entries or collectibles may result in stuttering.[29] Using the keyboard or a gamepad does not trigger this effect.[29]
Open and close the pause menu with Esc to stop the stuttering until the inventory is accessed again.[30] |
---|
Issues fixed
Hiss voices are in a different language
- The Hiss incantation language spoken by the floating bodies is tied to that of the operating system, not the in-game audio settings.[30]
Change Windows regional format[30] |
---|
|
No choice of DirectX 11 or 12
Use the -dx11 or -dx12 command line arguments to launch the game in the desired DirectX version.[31]
|
---|
Blurry textures
- High-resolution textures may not load immediately, resulting in signs, posters, portraits, and other objects briefly appearing blurry when nearby.
Mod in more aggressive texture streaming[32] |

SSE4.2-supported CPU required
- The game will not start on a system with a CPU that does not support the SSE4.2 instruction set, but the check can be bypassed.
- A CPU with no support for the instruction set is below the system requirements of the game, and likely to cause poor performance.
