Issues unresolved
Commentary audio volume too high
The volume for audio commentary cannot be changed and may be too high for some users. It was lowered slightly in 1.02 to be "more sensible".
Issues fixed
Low frame rate and stuttering
Instructions |
---|
"No World Loaded" error
- This is caused by a corrupted download.
Instructions |
---|
Everything is black and white on Intel graphics
- This glitch causes all the graphics in the game to appear white, black and dark grey, while all the lighting and shadows seem to work.
- This occurs on (even slightly) older Intel graphics drivers (confirmed with the one that ships with Apple's Boot Camp drivers for Windows 8).

Nvidia Control Panel Forced AF cancels "Darkness Effect"
On Nvidia cards, if anisotropic filtering is forced through Nvidia Control Panel, "Darkness Effect" post processing (Swirls, blur) is missing. Issue is solved by changing AF in Nvidia Control Panel to application controlled and having 16x anisotropic filtering within game options.
