- The user can change the game language in the game's Steam Properties.
Issues unresolved
Crash to desktop during Hunter/Hunted
- This issue blocks the continuation of a quest-chain.
- Approaching the quest objective will result in a crash to desktop without any errors. As of current, if you wish to progress the quest-line, you will have to teleport into the related building and then teleport to an area that does not crash the game.
Instructions |

Entering Cambridge Police Station makes the player fall through the ground[6][7]
- This issue may block the continuation of a quest-chain.
- You may speak to characters inside the building if you enable noclip: open the console and enter
tcl
. - To exit the building afterwards, as the doors did not spawn in, you must teleport to another location, i.e.
coc sanctuaryExt
.
Issues fixed
Graphical issues during rainy weather
Instructions |
---|
Dark shadow layer over gameplay
- Higher resolutions (e.g. 3440x1440, 3840x2160) may have an intrusive dark layer overlapping gameplay.[8][9]
Instructions |

Excessive Screen Tearing

Instructions |

Missing face textures
- Currently the game does not support SLI and CrossFire, which might cause missing face textures on the main character. (e.g. Black face texture, wrong skin color etc.)
- Crossfire appears to work fine when the CrossfireX Application profile is set to TESV.exe (Skyrim) (big fps gain on my 2x5870)
Instructions |
---|
Permanent Slow-motion Bug
- This bug may occur when using Jet, or any other item that slows down time in-game.
- You will be stuck in a slow motion state across all your saves. Reloading or waiting will not fix this.
