Issues fixed
Steam failed to start - Missing executable
Failed to start game (app already running) error
- There is no universal fix, however these are confirmed to work for some users.
Failed to start game (RU release doesn't work when English language is selected)
- This solution is probably applicable to other non-English releases.
The game crashes to desktop after trademark screen, shows one of the error messages from previous issues.
Blue screen on AMD CPU
- There seems to be problem with game running on AMD FX processors where game crashes to BSOD or freezes system. Issue is similar to Borderlands 2 BSOD and fix also works with Aliens: Colonial Marines.
No textures
- Forcing anti-aliasing via drivers on nVidia GeForce cards will result in missing textures and black game scene.
GPU detection fix
- Game has problems with detecting some graphic adapters - mainly mobile GPUs and new graphics. Because of this, game can select wrong settings profile for your system.
No weapon
Unresponsive controls
- Problem with controls where in-game camera is always rotating and in menu cursor is always moving down. Demonstrated here.
