Issues fixed

Game fails to load Prosperity Tower

The loading bar stops after some progress and the game gets stuck on the loading screen despite not being completely frozen (i.e. tips keeps changing).
Turn on HD Textures in the game options and load your save.[3]

Linux

Game launches on incorrect monitor/with wrong resolution

Caused by the game forcing fullscreen on your primary monitor but using your cumulative resolution of all connected monitors

Solution 1 (May not work, depending on distribution): Disable all but primary monitor, then restart the game[citation needed]
Solution 2: *Stub* Set the correct resolution/monitor in the prefs file ( ~/.config/unity3d/Harebrained Schemes/SRHK/prefs )[citation needed]

Mac OS X

Menu screen may be blank after starting the game

After the game loads the main menu it may appear blank. To fix simply click on the right side of the screen near the edge of the screen in the lower part. This will load one of the other menu screens. Returning from here to the main menu will work as intended.

Issues unresolved

Armor bug

The armor values are sometimes bugged, where increasing your armor through clothes, cyberware, or the Leopard Totem 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.[4][5]
