Issues unresolved
Crash on startup
- Some graphics cards are unable to correctly tell Hacknet what resolution they use.
- Some older graphics cards crash when scanlines are enabled by default, disabling scanlines in the
settings.txt
configuration file then starting the game resolves this issue. - The developer is working on a permanent solution.[citation needed]
