Destillery bug
- It usually happens in the map of the distillery that when climbing stairs the screen goes black or when you throw grenades the character falls off the map or the bot allies when climbing stairs disappear (that is, they fall of the map).
Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.[6] |
