Issues unresolved
Steam overlay is not available
Opening the Steam overlay in the retail game causes all input (keyboard or controller) to be ignored, requiring a restart of the game.
Game won't launch with Steam Controller connected
The game will fail to launch while the Steam Controller is connected to your computer. This also means the controller isn't compatible with the game. Possibly related to the Steam Overlay not being supported.
Issues fixed
Game freezes or hangs when starting a new game on Windows 10
Use Elisha's Windows 10 Patch[citation needed] |

~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/19980/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (19980) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
