Issues fixed
Crash to desktop after mission complete
- Game repeatedly crashes to desktop at the end of certain missions before the cutscene is displayed.
Switch to windowed mode[4] |
---|
Switching to windowed mode before the end of the mission and then switching back to fullscreen afterwards appears to resolve this problem. |
Update graphics drivers[4] |
---|
Others have reported that updating graphics drivers to the newest version resolves this issue. |
Title screen control glitch
- Game does not respond past the title screen, merely cycling through all buttons regardless of whether or not a controller or keyboard is used.
- This issue appeared after the Steamworks update.
