Issues unresolved
Crashes with ray tracing enabled on GTX cards
- Having any of the Ray Tracing options enabled in the game may result in crashing on Nvidia GTX graphics cards. Unchecking each related box in the settings solves the issue.[8][9]
Downgrade the Nvidia display drivers to 431.60[10] |
---|
Performance issues on high-end hardware
- There have been multiple reports of FPS drops below 60 and stuttering on hardware exceeding the recommended system requirements.[11][12][13]
Disable exploit protection for the game in DirectX 12 mode on Windows 10[14] |
---|
|
See this wiki section on freeing up standby memory with external software to reduce stuttering.[15] |
---|
Update Windows 10 to version 1903[16][17] |
---|
|
Issues fixed
SSE4.2-supported CPU required
- The game will not start on a system with a CPU that does not support the SSE4.2 instruction set, but the check can be bypassed.
- A CPU with no support for the instruction set is below the system requirements of the game, likely to result in poor performance.
Remove the SSE4.2 check by modifying a game file[18] |
---|
|
No choice of DirectX 12
Launch the game directly from <path-to-game>\Control_DX12.exe [11][19]
|
---|
Inability to collect mold in Old Growth
- Multiple players have reported being unable to collect one of the mold samples during the Old Growth side quest.[20]
- Game update 1.06 released on December 13, 2019 addressed the issue.[21]
