Mafia II: Definitive Edition was released May 19, 2020 on Steam and later on Epic Games Store on September 25, containing all the DLC from Mafia II. Previous owners of Mafia II on Steam were automatically given this version for free, and the original Mafia II was renamed Mafia II (Classic) in the Steam Library.

Issues unresolved
Infinite loading screen in chapter 14
- You may encounter an infinite loading screen in chapter 14 after the cutscene where you pay back Bruno if you raised money by holding up stores.
Restart chapter[12] |
---|
Some players have been able to start the following chapter from the main menu but otherwise you must restart chapter 14 from the main menu and raise money by dropping off cars to Bruski. |
- Never fixed even with the definitive edition.
FOV changes after loading
- Gameplay FOV may change after loading from a checkpoint or restarting the game and loading into a mission.[13]
Bugged cutscenes
- Characters close their eyes in cutscenes when their eyes are normally suppose to move with some not even moving or blinking at all. Movements are more choppy, robotic and awkward and limbs can clip into the torso of the characters and twist around unnaturally. Cutscenes can even be black with only audio or repeat indefinitely.[citation needed]
Issues fixed
Cloth APEX PhysX fix workaround
- APEX PhysX effects work properly except the cloth physics in the main game. APEX PhysX works well in the DLCs and with DLC clothing.
Delete CLOTH folder[14] |
---|
|
APEX PhysX debris doesn't last as long as in Mafia II: Classic
Copy Effects folder from Classic[15] |
---|
|
Flickering fog
Set Vsync to FAST or ADAPTIVE in NVidia control panel[16] |
---|
|
Savegame issues
- The path for saves can not contain non-English characters.
Use SilentPatch to resolve the issue[17] |
---|
Resolution list locked to single monitor (Unable to select certain resolutions)
- In multiple monitor setups, it's possible that game won't let user to select certain resolutions, because one of devices has lower resolution in comparison to others.
- For example, with two monitors: 1st - 5:4(1280x1024) and 2nd one 16:9(1920x1080) <- set as main one, user will not be able to render game above 1280x1024. If resolution is set in config file, and it exceeds 1280x1024 game will render game in 640x480.

- Started Joe's Adventures and took a screenshot of the first scene past the cutscene, clicked on Load last checkpoint from the menu, which resulted in a significant FOV decrease, persisting even after using the wardrobe, until leaving the building. Restarting the game and clicking Continue resulted in increased FOV at the same starting point. Additionally confirmed by mastan on Discord.
