Issues unresolved
- Couldn`t enable any EAX through Creative alchemy(X-FI).
- The game filters very slight mouse movements, making it nearly impossible to perform very precise aiming on the medium-high mouse sensitivity (including the default mouse sensitivity). The issue is unresolved, and as a workaround, you may lower your mouse sensitivity.
- Rarely, after having used the tactical tools (Binoculars, Thermal vision), the game may re-open another tactical tool when you try closing it, and once the player exits, they cannot fire or pick up firearms anymore
Issues fixed
Graphics not being rendered correctly
Disable Software Vertex Processing[citation needed] |
---|
|
Level restart results in a softlock
- Witnessed on multiple different machines, on modern operating systems (including Windows XP[4] and 7) and on versions 1.2 and 1.3[5]
Workaround 1 |

Workaround 2 |

|
Game switches b/w Windowed and Full-screen modes
- Occurs randomly and/or when navigating any game menus after playing for a while
