Issues fixed
Game fails to proceed to next checkpoint in certain missions
- This issue mostly arises in missions where you have to escort or guard friendly AIs. Its cause is most likely a softlock caused when the player rushes too quickly through a level, not considering the AI. To prevent the game softlocking, stay close to the AIs and kill every enemy you see to make sure the AI proceeds with you.[8]

- Tested with a Xbox One controller. The game does allow using a controller in the menu and assigning buttons to some actions, but movement cannot be assigned, essentially making it impossible to play with a controller.
