Issues unresolved

Disappearing UI

Parts of the UI may disappear for a short time when you view landmarks. Doing a story mission/side quest may fix it, otherwise, restarting the game will.[citation needed]

  2. Edit screen.dat.
  3. Change refreshrate to your refresh rate.
  4. Change width and height to match your resolution.

Crash on startup (Windows; Steam)

On some systems, game crashes on startup using Xbox Controller.
