Startup issues
Game crashes at main menu
Replace openal32.dll[3][5]

- Extract the contents of the zip file you downloaded to the folder of your choosing.
- Open folder you extracted and go to openal-soft-<version number>-bin\bin\Win32
- Copy the DLL, named
soft_oal.dll in the folder and paste it into <path-to-game>\bin .
- Rename the DLL you just copied to
openal32.dll .
Notes
- This fix has only been tested with discrete sound card users (i.e. Creative X-Fi series of sound cards).

- Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

Netcode issues
Desynchronization (de-sync)
- Work is ongoing to improve netcode and reduce or eliminate de-syncs.[6]
Gameplay issues
Game crashes on mulitplayer maps
- Affects singleplayer "Survival" mode and multiplayer.[7]
- The developers are actively working on a fix.[8]
Singleplayer missions exhibit choppiness/jerkiness
- This is a known, difficult-to-diagnose issue.[9]
Invisible solar rays
- Solar radiation rays, which appear in the final moments of a multiplayer game, are invisible, yet still deal Solar damage.[10]
- This is a regression of a previously-fixed issue.[11]
Low FPS in Multiplayer
- When playing on the Central District map on Veteran difficulty and on Fast mode with primary and secondary objectives enabled, all players experience low FPS and absolutely no synchronization after Wave 9.[12]
- Has the side-effect of preventing players from damaging enemies.
- Developers are aware of the issue and are working on a permanent fix.
