Issues fixed
Falling through terrain
- In the Steam version you will start falling through the terrain; this becomes an issue in mission 5 "Mayday! Mayday!" if you go too far north, and in Mission 6, "Ready for bear", which happens before you exit the APC.

Crash at launch

Cross-com doesn't work (middle mouse button)
In the Steam version, the middle mouse button does not seem to function as it should, i.e. make your soldiers execute a command. To fix the problem, you need to edit a file called ctrl_set_def.xml.
| Instructions |
|---|
Temporary freeze at startup
The retail version of GRAW is still looking for the Gamespy servers on startup but naturally won't get any response. This lookup causes a temporary freeze, about 20 seconds long. You can prevent this by editing the windows hosts file.
