Issues unresolved

No icons in Main Menu

Some users have reported the game failing to render any menu icons. Running a certain AMD APUs may be the cause. No solution is known currently.

Enemies disappearing

Sometimes the game removes enemies and other NPCs if they are still relatively close to the player but not in plain sight anymore. This can cause the randomly spawned side objectives (like saving a civilian) to just disappear after running around a building.[citation needed]

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>/223100/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (223100) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
