Issues unresolved

Saved progress lost

The Epic Games Store version of the game was switched to cloud-based data storage following the release on Steam, resulting in being unable to load existing save files from before the update.[19][20][21]

Issues fixed

Game failing to launch

Part of the official minimum system requirements listed on the Epic Games Store page is a CPU supporting the AVX instruction set. Meeting the requirement should solve the issue.[22] Reportedly, the game has been updated to remove the AVX requirement.[23]

Game crashes at certain points

The game can be unstable at framerates higher than 144. Limiting the game FPS through an external program or turning on Vsync in the game options should fix the issue.
