Game crashes on startup

Users of NVIDIA GTX 260, GTX 275, and GTX 280 cards have reported their graphics card drivers crashing when attempting to start the game.
The developers recommend any NVIDIA users experiencing problems to first read this Instructables article for detailed information on fixing the problem.
Instructions

Netcode issues

Desynchronization (de-sync)

Work is ongoing to improve netcode and reduce or eliminate de-syncs.[2]

Gameplay issues

Game crashes on mulitplayer maps

Affects singleplayer "Survival" mode and multiplayer.[3]
The developers are actively working on a fix.[4]

Singleplayer missions exhibit choppiness/jerkiness

This is a known, difficult-to-diagnose issue.[5]

Invisible solar rays

Solar radiation rays, which appear in the final moments of a multiplayer game, are invisible, yet still deal Solar damage.[6]
This is a regression of a previously-fixed issue.[7]

Low FPS in Multiplayer

When playing on the Central District map on Veteran difficulty and on Fast mode with primary and secondary objectives enabled, all players experience low FPS and absolutely no synchronization after Wave 9.[8]
Has the side-effect of preventing players from damaging enemies.
Developers are aware of the issue and are working on a permanent fix.
Instructions

Graphical issues

OpenGL issues on Windows 10 Preview

This issue will not be resolved as Windows 10 Preview is unsupported by the developers.[9]
