Sunset Overdrive is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games. Originally released in 2014 as an Xbox One exclusive, the game made its way to PC in November 2018. It includes all of the DLC from the original version, but lacks the Chaos Squad online co-op mode.
All content that was originally unlocked via pre-order or Chaos Squad has been moved to the in-game store at the cost of OverCharge (in-game currency). To compensate for the increased amount of OverCharge required to unlock everything, OverCharge will be given as a reward each time a mission is completed, rather than just the first time.
The PC version of Sunset Overdrive launched with some issues, most notably a mouse sensitivity bug that was later patched.[1]
The port was criticized for being basic, with a lack of graphical settings and a fixed 16:9 aspect ratio.[2]

Issues Unresolved
Save files appear corrupted
- Game can display a warning (that can be safely closed and ignored) about corrupt save files whenever the game is started or when going back to the main menu. The cause of this is unknown. Only one corrupted save file will be listed in the load menu as Corrupt Save and attempting to load it will take you to the start of the game. The rest of the save files in the other save slots are fully functional, can still be played and won't get corrupted by this issue. Cause of the issue is currently unknown.
- Attempting to delete the listed corrupt save in-game will make the game crash when going back to the main menu. Anyways, after deleting it in-game, it just re-appears again. Deleting the save files in-game or manually, disabling Steam Cloud for this game and deleting
steam_autocloud.vdf
does not solve the issue. There is currently no known solution.[3] - Some of the games animations/physics are tied to the FPS count. No known issues to the game besides sped up animations like death animations and some physics elements. Original animations are only at 30 fps.
Issues fixed
Game application doesn't launch or crashes upon starting new game
Add the game's .exe-file to exceptions for ALL antiviruses and/or firewalls running on your system[4] |
---|
Green glow and green flickering screen corruption when depth of field is enabled
- Unknown if issue also occurs on AMD hardware
Nvidia: update graphics driver to 465.89 or newer |
---|
|
Workaround: Disable depth of field[6] |
---|
|
Workaround: Lock FPS to 30 using in-game options[citation needed] |
---|
Textures and shadows flickering on Windows 7
Set the resolution to 1080p or higher[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Resolution not scaling correctly with non default DPI scaling
Enable "High DPI scaling override" |
---|
|
Stuttering while traversing though the world
Install the game on a HDD instead of a SSD[dubious – discuss][7] |
---|
|
Changes to weapon switching keybinds won't stick
Click on "Apply Changes" to swap the two keybinds.[8] |
