Anti-aliasing (AA)
- SMAA anti-aliasing is a lower cost solution for eliminating jaggies and gives better performance over MSAA. MSAA can severely reduce FPS on weaker systems while TAA reduces image clarity (and can disorientate some people).

Issues unresolved
UI crunched together in Exclusive Fullscreen mode
- Toggling Exclusive Fullscreen mode can mess up the UI on some aspect ratios.[17]
All dialog audio reduced to 1% volume after using inventory
- Using the inventory permanently reduces all dialog sound to almost inaudible volume.[18]
- Reload savegame to restore normal audio.
Issues fixed
Can not start Redeem.exe - api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll wasn't found (Retail)
- This error is caused by the DVD including
d3d11.dll
Windows 8.1 system library[19] never meant to be shipped in other OS.
Use fixed redeem applet[20] |

Notes
|
Game crashes when Jensen watches TV in Prague
The fix is to turn on exclusive fullscreen. |
---|
Notes
|
Blurry and semi-transparent faces
- Due to how it presently works with facial meshes, tessellation can cause character faces to having a strange, "washed out" look to them which makes them look semi-transparent.
Disable tessellation[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Save games requiring DLC stop working if game is moved to / reinstalled on different drive
- Fix can require re-download of several gigabytes (but not whole game).
Go to the game in your Steam library. Uncheck the DLC and wait for it to go greyed out. Check it again so that it will download/install the DLC.[22] |
---|
Game crashes when exiting the shooting range
Before entering the shooting range itself, empty your inventory, or at least remove the weapons from the inventory. Supposedly, just not interacting with the lockers at the shooting range instead of dropping the inventory works, too.[23] |

Black bars in cutscenes and aspect ratio issues on TVs with 4K resolution
Follow this guide on Steam[citation needed] |

Shadows are rendered incorrectly on Linux
Nvidia - Disable GLSL's Use Collapsed Arrays |
---|
Add the following command line in Launch Options: __GL_GlslUseCollapsedArrays=0 %command% |
AMD (Open source driver) - Disable Ambient Occlusion |
