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).
|
Vehicle/Weapon icons vanishing
- The icons to show weapon/ammo/health on the ground and vehicle icons vanish when the player gets close to them.
Turn off anti-aliasing[citation needed]
|
- Alternatively, this can be used to disable them, since all essential icons remain and only the icons showing dropped weapons/vehicle doors will be disabled.
