Issues unresolved
Infinite loading screen
- A single save game reaches an infinite load screen at the same point each time.
- Officially there is no solution to this problem, and the save game is lost.[3]
- Verifying the game cache and a system restart may help alleviate the issue.[4]
Issues fixed
Controls unresponsive
- Issue whereby the game stops responding to control inputs upon entering the hub menu.
- This issue can be resolved by restarting the game.[5]
Remove aim assist

Controller buttons glitch
- The symbols displaying which button to press during gameplay and quick-time events flicker between keyboard and controller when using a gamepad.
- Issue seems to begin if the player moves the mouse or uses the keyboard when the controller is plugged in.
- A game restart is required to alleviate the problem.[6]
Game doesn't save rebound keys
- Issue where the game pretends to accept a rebound key setup but the changes don't take effect.
- Can be resolved by deleting the default game bindings, and then rebinding to the desired setup.[7]
Crash after title credits (AMD users)
- Issue where AMD users who have installed the game on a drive other than
C://have the game crash to a black screen post title logos.[8] - This issue may be resolved by moving the game to the
C://drive.[9][10]
Black screen on launch - window keeps minimising
- Upon launch, the screen goes black for a few seconds, the game window minimises, and cannot be maximised.

Low frame rate (AMD users)
- Issue where a low frame rate is experienced (especially in the open world), even on a high end AMD machine.
- May be resolved by installing the new AMD beta driver, which reports a performance increase of up to 25%.[11]
Frame rate locked at 30 FPS after beating the game
- After the credits the game will be locked to a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
- Simply exiting the program and relaunching it will resolve this issue.
Game says there isn't enough disk space to save
- The game tells you there isn't enough disk space on the drive to save your game even though you have plenty of space available.
