Issues unresolved
Lost save games
- Due to crashes, bugs, lack of Steam Cloud support, or otherwise weird design choices (e.g. having a "start new game" option right below the "continue" option in the pause menu of the game) saves can be easily lost while playing the game. There is no solution to this problem except either performing a manual backup of the save folder, or using a third-party backup solution to automate the process.
Backup the save folder manually |

Issues fixed
Resolution change causes the game to crash
- Changing the resolution of the game from the in-game settings menu cause the game to crash.
Manually edit the config[6] |

Notes
|
Stuttering
Stuttering may be reduced by freeing video RAM[citation needed] |
---|
This can be done in-game by:
This can also be done in Windows by:
|
If you get low memory warnings and stuttering, changing virtual memory settings can help |
---|
Specifically if you have two or more drives in your system (eg an SSD+HDD), make sure the page file is set to use a different drive to the one the game is installed on. On Windows 7:
NB: This only works for separate physical drives, not partitions. NB: It is not recommended to have a page file on an SSD as it can wear the drive out, better to have the game on an SSD and page file on an HDD. |
Lock-on missiles not working
- If using mouse and keyboard, lock-on missiles in vehicles might not work. Bug unpatched since launch.
Disable 'precision aim' Gear MOD and restart the game.[7] |

|
Use an XInput controller.[8] |
