Issues unresolved
Mouse movement stutters
- Camera movement is stuttering very badly when using the mouse, while it is smooth when using a controller.
- When the game is loading additional world data in the background it stops responding to mouse movement. Currently there isn't a fix available.
Issues fixed
Menu lag and low performance
- Frequent freezing every few seconds.
| Disable HID Devices[citation needed] |

Notes

Checking systems and iamalive_game.exe not working
- Appears to be caused by a startup validation process which can be disabled.[6]
- Can also be caused by running on an unsupported operating system.[7]
