Issues unresolved
White screen crash (both AMD and NVIDIA)
- The game continues playing in the background so if you're in a save zone you can quick save your progress by clicking on Esc+↵ Enter+↵ Enter. You should hear a chime sound effect when the game have been saved successfully.
- Terminate the game using either Alt+F4 or Alt+Tab ↹ followed by terminating it through the Task Manager in Windows.
- A temporary fix for AMD is to downgrade the graphics drivers to 16.11.5.[5]
