Issues unresolved

Parts of the UI may disappear for a short time when you view landmarks. Doing a story mission/side quest may fix it, otherwise, restarting the game will.

Issues fixed

Black screen on startup (Windows)

For some reason, the default refresh rate of the game is 150 Hz which won't load properly on most monitors.[3]
