Issues fixed[edit]

Game crashes on initial startup[edit]

Issue with extended ASCII in Windows username^[8]
BPR may crash on initial start-up after "Connecting to Paradise City Servers" if your Windows username contains non-ASCII characters. As an example, usernames containing "é" or "ö" will result in a crash.

Issues with OBS^[9]
Even if its just installed and not runnig at all it will make game crash everytime you launch it. To fix this you can try to install OBS Virtualcam, if this doesnt work then just uninstall OBS completely.

Game crashes during the "Connecting to Paradise City Servers" Message[edit]

Occurs when user has a friend on the Origin Friends List that has 25+ characters in their name. The game does a scan of the Friends List to see whether or not they are playing the game and, upon coming across this name, will crash.

Remove that friend from the Friends List. Alternatively, start the game while Origin is in Offline Mode.^{[citation needed]}
