Issues unresolved

Broken difficulty menu fundamentally alters game play

Due to a bug that is yet to be fixed the game difficulty will always reset back to easy on game load or saved game load. However the menu will still show "hard" or "nightmare" when the game is actually set to easy.
Set difficulty to easy. Go back into the game. Set difficulty to hard or nightmare. Apply this fix every time the game loads. Some reports suggest player might have to go to another settlement to actually see the changes.[9]

Drove onto Authority Base platform and now unable to progress

If the player lacks the in-game requirements for the Project Dagger mission, the player can be rendered unable to progress.
Reload an earlier save[10]

Audio issues during scripted sequences

Wait for the sequence to finish[11][12][13]

Overdrive not charging

In some cases, Overdrive does not charge when killing enemies or using an Overdrive Infuser.[14][15]
No known fix.

Rebinding keys doesn't affect the helicopter properly

If for instance 'W' is your use key in the helicopter it's hard-coded to go forward, so you just fall out of the helicopter. In general, WASD seems to be hard-coded for flying vehicles. But some of the other actions move over just fine.
No known fix.

Game doesn't start on CPUs with less than 4 physical cores

Try octa core faker[citation needed]

Issues fixed

Game crashes on Core 2 Quad

Nop the POPCNT instruction[16]
  1. Open <path-to-game>\RAGE2.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
  2. Search for the F3 0F B8 C1 hex value.
  3. Replace it with the EB 02 90 90 hex value.
  4. Save the changes.
Use prepatched executable with debug mode[17]
