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[9] |
---|
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.[10]
Issues fixed
Disable APEX PhysX
- Due to PhysX not supporting AMD GPUs, playing with APEX PhysX significantly impacts performance when using one.
- Unlike the original release, the game has no settings for its APEX PhysX implementation, instead simply forcing it to be enabled. Although there is a setting for it in the settings.xml file, changing the value has no impact.[11]
Change video settings |
---|
|
- You can now change other video settings to your liking. This will change the preset to "custom". Do not use "medium" or "high" preset, it will enable APEX PhysX.
Cloth APEX PhysX fix
- APEX PhysX effects work properly except the cloth physics in the main game. APEX PhysX works well in the DLCs and with DLC clothing.
Workaround[12] |
---|
|
- You can now change other video settings to your liking. This will change the preset to "custom". If you change the preset to "low", it will disable APEX PhysX.
- You should add it back when you want to play the DLCs.
Error: xinput1_4.dll missing
- The game was compiled to use most modern xinput1_4.dll, which is not available for Windows 7. However, it's still possible to use earlier version of xinput library as a workaround.
Windows 7 workaround[13] |
---|
|
Savegame issues
- The path for saves can not contain non-English characters.
Use SilentPatch to resolve the issue[14] |

- 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.
