Issues unresolved

Connectivity Issues

Some users have reported an inability to connect to some or all multiplayer servers.[1] The developers are aware of this issue and the next patch will reportedly fix some of the problems, most notably the fact that connecting to a dedicated server means you are subsequently unable to connect to a P2P server.

Crash After A Kill

Reportedly the game crashes after a kill in some instances.[2]

Zooming Control Issue

Sometimes the zoom controls will cause the scope zoom to zoom in and out continuously.[3]

Issues fixed

Mouse Disabled in Menus

This issue revolves around the inability to use the mouse in the in-game menus as the pointer will not appear, and has been reported by several users.[4] It can be caused by Alt+Tab'ing/minimizing the game, although some users have reported the use of the program Raptr as the cause. If you are running Raptr, try closing it before opening the game again.

Window Focus Issues

Some users report that after alt-tabbing from the game in Windows 7/8, refocusing the window and then clicking the mouse will defocus the window again, making the game unplayable after alt-tabbing. Disabling desktop composition in compatibility options or running the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 appears to fix the issue.[5]

Refresh Rate Issues

Issues can occur with the games fixed refresh rate when using a monitor with a higher or lower refresh rate.[6] NVIDIA card users can fix this issue using a Refresh Rate Patcher which locks the frame rate for all games, and can easily be enabled/disabled.

Low Performance

This appears to be caused by the game process being set to 'low'. This can be set to 'high', but restarting the game will reset this to 'low'.[7]

Unable To Move

This can be fixed by disabling the anti-virus program running (such as Avast).[8]

Frame rate drops when looking through the scope

If you are experiencing a severe frame rate drop when looking through the scope or binoculars when the game runs fine otherwise, try turning off "compute shaders" and/or supersampling.[9]

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/63380/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (63380) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
