Issues Fixed
Dialogue Missing From Cutscenes
- This happens because of the audio tracks from cutscenes not being mixed together, resulting in SFX and music but no dialogue track.
Reset Audio Settings in Game and in Windows |

Leave in game audio sliders at default and do not change them. Make sure your PC audio hasn't been set to surround sound (reset it to stereo). |
