Issues unresolved
Loading issues in DirectX 12 mode
- The game may take longer to load or get stuck at the intro loading screen when the DirectX 12 mode is selected.[20][21][22]
Edit the config file to return to DirectX 11[5] |
---|
|
Stuttering on high-end hardware
- There have been multiple reports of the game stuttering on hardware exceeding the recommended system requirements.[23][24]
- Switching to DirectX 12 may result in better performance and reduction of stuttering, as well as better utilization of the CPU in combat on high-end hardware.[25][26]
Block all network connections from the game to potentially reduce stuttering[27] |
---|
|
Menu cropping
- The cropping issues affecting the menu screens at resolutions other than 16:9 have been addressed for the most part as of the latest game version.[28][29]
- However, Catch-a-Ride menu screens are cropped at resolutions wider than 16:9.[30]
Use keyboard buttons to spawn a vehicle[30] |
---|
Press E to select, Q to deploy, and Tab ↹ to close the menu. |
- Some of the vehicle customization options are out of view at 32:9 and wider resolutions.
Temporarily switch to a 16:9 resolution through the Visuals menu within Options.[31] |
---|
Issues fixed
Progression loss
- Multiple players have reported character progression loss after game crashes or switching between computers.[32]
- A number of the players have chosen to overwrite local files at the Epic Games Launcher cloud saves conflict prompt,[33][34] which attributes at least some of the cases to user error.
On September 16, 2019, Epic Games stated that the conflict prompt screen has not appeared in every case of conflict between local and cloud saves, and a hotfix has been deployed.[35] - In the event of save corruption for reasons unrelated to cloud saving, backups created by the game may be found in the save folder.[36]
Restore corrupt save files from backup[37] |
