Issues fixed

Gamepad not recognized

Go to regedit,press F3 search OEMNAME and replace your joystick name to "XBOX 360 Controller for Windows" without quotes.

Stuttering

To address this issue, you'll need to do the following:

1. Right-click "My Computer" and choose "Manage". 2. From there, go to "Device Manager" and in the new window double-click "Human Interface Devices". 3. Now right-click and disable only the "HID-compliant device" entries. If this doesn't work (after testing how your game works), disable the "HID-compliant consumer control device" entries.

After you've done this your keyboard and mouse SHOULD still work but the extra features associated with them won't work.

NOTE: When you've finished this game and don't want to play it anymore, simply reverse the changes and re-enable those entries in Device Manager as most other games are not affected by this issue.

Crash on startup

Update GFWL client[citation needed]

Crash to desktop after the first campaign loading screen

Head into the main menu audio options and change the Sound Render from OpenAL to DIRECTSOUND[2]
