Issues unresolved
These issues are in the Steam version of the game.
Brightness issue
On some hardware, the game will play at a much lower brightness level. This may not seem like a problem at first, but it makes night-time very hard to see.
Visual bugs
There are visual issues, such as menu icons being in the wrong layer order, and Mack's eyelids flickering at night-time.
Cutscenes unwatchable
Deleted scenes and movie clips can't be watched. Trying to select a scene will return you to the selection menu. They might have been removed due to outdated licenses, or perhaps they're just corrupted and can't be played.
Issues fixed
Game crashes when starting Story Mode
Run application with Nvidia Graphics card[3] |

- If trying to force the game to run with an integrated Intel GPU, chances are you'll come across the gameplay briefly freezing when a dialogue is played. This applies to the Steam version.

Notes
- ↑ The demo does not let you adjust any configuration settings, such as controls or resolution.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/331160/
. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (331160) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
