Generic placeholder images are replacing some 2D icons and images in-game.[20]
Issues fixed

Controller hotplugging does not work
Run the game as an administrator, as detailed here.
Game options cannot be saved or loaded when using a controller
The game forces you to pick either keyboard/mouse or controller when you first open the main menu. Everything works fine with keyboard and mouse; however, with a controller, while the settings can be changed, they will never be saved and the game will reload the default settings every time a save file is loaded.
"High Overseer Campbell" meeting chamber bug
This gate to the right behind Overseer Martin will trigger the meeting chamber bug if opened.
- Opening the gate behind Overseer Martin during the "High Overseer Campbell" mission will trigger a bug with the main objective: High Overseer Campbell and Captain Curnow cut off their conversation too early, and everyone in the waiting area becomes alerted and rushes into the meeting chamber. The mission can still be completed, but several ways of solving the main objective are automatically failed.[23][24]
Avoid opening the bugged gate[23][24]
|
Complete the meeting chamber portion of the mission without opening the gate behind Overseer Martin (use climbing, Blink, or other methods to get inside without opening this particular gate).
|
"Creating a Safe Haven" side objective doesn't complete
- After escorting the survivors past the Threat Zone, the game may still not give credit for the objective's completion. In order to successfully complete the quest, the player may need to perform the following action.
Place weeper corpse in the safe zone[25][26]
|
Return to the apartments and pick up a weeper corpse. Place this corpse in the safe zone with the other survivors.
|
- After the objective is completed, do not turn on the nearby floodlights. Even though the survivors are no longer in the apartments, the objective will fail automatically when the tallboys begin to attack the apartments.[27]
