Issues unresolved

Leon Mission 1-1 Co-op glitch

The professor may get stuck on a table and a chair in the ballroom

Workaround[citation needed]
Wait at the checkpoint for 2 to 3 minutes.

Jake Mission 4-4 Co-op glitch

Some players may be dropped upon entering the level.

Chris Mission 4-4 Co-op glitch

After collecting the three passcodes, you enter a quicktime event; the co-op partner might not see the enemies needed to be shot.

Workaround
Complete that section in single-player, and continue the game upon boarding the plane.

Issues fixed

ERROR 08

Crashes the game during prelude.

Lower graphics settings
Turning down graphics settings temporarily during prelude may improve stability long enough to allow you to progress past that stage.

ERR09: Unsupported function

Occurs if the used resolution is unsupported.

Edit configuration file[citation needed]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open Config.ini. In the [DISPLAY] section, set FullScreen="OFF", or create those sections and lines as necessary.
