Issues unresolved

Crash to desktop in the Microsoft Store version

The issues seems to happen due to the game's friendslist being unable to show more than 48 profiles, to the point of the game crashing.

Workarounds^[4]
Lower the amount of friends on the Xbox account used.

Issues fixed

Game changes microphone gain at launch

Modify microphone gain ingame^[5]
Start the game. Go to the voice settings. Set `RECORD LEVEL` to the preferred microphone gain.

Game doesn't start if being run from an NTFS linked folder

Move the installation folder back into the Steam library folder^[6]
Either keep the game in current Steam library folder or create another Steam library on a different drive and move the game there via Steam's own moving option.

All keybindings are empty on French version of the campaign
