Issues unresolved
Water effects not rendering
- When the Water effects graphics option is enabled, water does not render on certain modern systems, such as those employing Intel HD Graphics. Disabling the setting is a working—albeit sub-optimal—solution.
Issues fixed
Sensitivity issues for XInput controllers
- The game has sensitivity issues with diagonal input for XInput controllers (running diagonally does not work because the game expects DirectInput values).
Use XInput Plus[citation needed] |

If pressing left stick fully forward still results in walking, go to "Sticks" and reduce Saturation in 5% increments until rectified. |
Extreme amounts of fog
