Issues unresolved

Infinite loading screen

A single save game reaches an infinite load screen at the same point each time.
Officially there is no solution to this problem, and the save game is lost.[4]
Verifying the game cache and a system restart may help alleviate the issue.[5]

Issues fixed

Controls unresponsive

Issue whereby the game stops responding to control inputs upon entering the hub menu.
This issue can be resolved by restarting the game.[6]

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 if the player moves the mouse or uses the keyboard when the controller is plugged in.
A game restart is required to alleviate the problem.[7]

Game doesn't save rebound keys

Issue where the game pretends to accept a rebound key setup but the changes don't take effect.
Can be resolved by deleting the default game bindings, and then rebinding to the desired setup.[8]

Crash after title credits (AMD users)

Issue where AMD users who have installed the game on a drive other than C:// have the game crash to a black screen post title logos.[9]
This issue may be resolved by moving the game to the C:// drive.[10][11]

Black screen on launch - window keeps minimising

Upon launch, the screen goes black for a few seconds, the game window minimises, and cannot be maximised.
Instructions

Low frame rate (AMD users)

Issue where a low frame rate is experienced (especially in the open world), even on a high end AMD machine.
May be resolved by installing the new AMD beta driver, which reports a performance increase of up to 25%.[12]
