- Can be 'fixed' by using Alt+↵ Enter to enter windowed mode, then using Alt+↵ Enter again to return once all intro videos played (Switch back after Unreal Engine video)
Issues fixed
Unable to bind some keys
- Game does not allow players to bind special keys (num keys, page up, down etc.) to commands.
- See Custom commands and key binding fix section for a fix.
