Issues unresolved

Audio/Video desync in pre-rendered cutscenes

  • When being played for the first time in session, sound gets desynced with a video in pre-rendered cutscenes.[citation needed]

Audio mixing issues in pre-rendered cutscenes

  • Noticeable by music and sounds effects being much more quiet than the voices in pre-rendered cutscenes.[6]
  • A guide with video files that fix the audio issues can be found here.[citation needed]

Controller disconnected

  • Game will lock up completely with this message on the screen if controller gets disconnected. Only way to continue is to reconnect the controller, which only work with XInput controllers. With other controllers the game must be forcefully closed.

Language setting is not saved

  • Game language will fallback to computer language if you change menu language.

Frame rate issues when using an Xinput controller over bluetooth

  • When playing the game with an XInput controller over bluetooth connection frames are dropped. Only workaround is to use avoid using Bluetooth, plug in the controller if possible or use the Xbox Wireless Adapter.

Issues fixed

Loading screen is stuck

  • Enable VSync from Advanced Options.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/462780/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (462780) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
