Issues unresolved
Game crashing
- The game sometimes crashes, mostly at the beginning when entering the hangar. Regardless of the crash, the game will likely be saved before the crash so you don't lose the progress and likely will not crash.

Broken Shadows
- The game lacks any shadows on NVIDIA based cards and possibly newer AMD cards. According to this post here shadows will display on an ATI 9800 Pro card.
Issues fixed
