Issues unresolved

Armor bug

The armor values are sometimes bugged, where increasing your armor through clothes or cyberware doesn't show up immediately on the character screen and also not in the first combat. In this case, you need to get through a fight and only after it will the values be correctly updated for the future.[3][4]

Issues fixed

Linux

When launching the game you get the following error message: no such file or directory. Your distribution is missing the i386 architecture.[5]
