Issues fixed
Walking in OTS view
There is originally no way to walk in the OTS (over the shoulder) camera view. A small mod addressing this is available on the official forums. The archive it comes in contains installation instructions.
Sometimes, if you skip the intro cinematic, the mouse is gone on the main menu. This can be fixed by pressing the key that releases the mouse in OTS view(shift by default)
