Issues unresolved
Startup
- Game frequently will not launch from Steam Launcher for a large number of players. No known work-around other than to continue clicking Play repeatedly until game starts.[12]
Impossible to disable controller aim assistance
- Game supports three different levels of aim assistance when playing with a controller: High, Low and Off. High and Low work as intended (high snaps towards the nearest target, low slows down crosshairs when near an enemy), but Off behaves exactly the same as Low. This also happens on consoles.[13]
Issues fixed
Run the game at screen refresh rate in fullscreen
- The Game ignores Windows settings and forces 60 Hz while in fullscreen as long as it's supported by your monitor.[14]

Yes, it's our own engine and is basically the same. Of course, during the development of the game is changing and improving, but we use it only for Mafia III, so we really consider it as our own."
