Issues unresolved
Stuttering, frame drops, or poor performance
Many people experience stuttering for at least a short time while playing the game.[4][5]
This may be related to the game's engine (Unreal Engine 4) loading game assets on-the-fly.[6][7]
Installing and running the game on a fast-access hard disk such as an SSD may lessen the issue. Stuttering should decrease after playing the game for a short time as more assets are loaded into your computer's memory.
Issues fixed
Windows 7: crash after starting new game
- By default the game does not support Windows 7 and will crash to a black screen when attempting to start a new game. If you try, you may receive an error such as The program can't start because api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.

- Resolution options are limited to max. 1280x720. Switching to windowed mode with F11 and back reinstates 1920x1080.
- Crashes may still appear (Game uses savepoints).
