Frequent Network disconnections
- Disabling the Steam overlay will prevent most disconnections in multiplayer[citation needed]
Issues unresolved
Infinite loading screen
- Verifying the game cache and a system restart may help alleviate the issue.[8]
- Officially there is no solution to this problem, and the save game is lost.[9]
Frame rate locked at 30 FPS after beating the game
- After the credits the game will be locked to a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
Exit the game and relaunch[10] |
---|
Issues fixed
Cannot get past "The Real World" mission
- The closing gates that appear near the end of "The Real World" mission may close too fast, rendering the mission unbeatable.
Lower the Resolution and Graphics Settings[citation needed] |
---|
Install "No Gates in The Real World" mod[citation needed] |
---|
Controls unresponsive
- Issue whereby the game stops responding to control inputs upon entering the hub menu.
Restart the game[11] |

Controller buttons glitch
- The symbols displaying which button to press during gameplay and quick-time events flicker between keyboard and controller when using a gamepad.
- Issue seems to begin when the player moves the mouse or uses the keyboard when the controller is plugged in.
Restart the game[12] |
---|
Game doesn't save rebound keys
- Issue where the game pretends to accept a rebound key setup but the changes don't take effect.
Rebinding[13] |

Black screen on launch / window keeps minimizing

Low frame rate (AMD users)

The Kinzie Gambit: All Hands on Deck
- Johnny Gat can't exit the ship during All Hands on Deck. He needs to open a chest to continue the mission.

Disable DLC[18] |

Stuttering caused by My Steelport service shutdown
