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. You can use a program like Process Hacker to save the CPU priority for you so you don't have to do this every time.

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/517630/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (517630) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
