Issues unresolved

Game freezes

A possible solution is setting CPU priority to High.

Changing CPU Priority
  1. Open the Task Manager, and go to the Details tab.
  2. Right-click JustCause4.exe and select Set Priority.
  3. Select High. Then click Change priority.
This has to be done every time the game is launched. Use a program like Process Hacker to save the CPU priority.

Game Crashes when trying to do Cabo Marrón Wingsuit Stunt

A problem seemingly exclusive to the base EGS version of the game which seems to be missing files and is therefore impossible to 100%.
Make sure you buy the Season pass, Gold or Complete version on said store
