There seems to be a problem on some systems that game crashes every few minutes and/or freezes whole system. [3] [4]

Issues fixed

Aim assist

For now, no method of file editing exists to permanently disable aim assist for mouse and keyboard. There is an odd workaround to disable it, but it requires a controller. First, plug in the controller. Start the game, then go to the Controller section in the options menu, and turn off Aim Assist. Unplug the controller and resume play normally. So far, this method does not need to be repeated to ensure aim assist remains off. [5]
