Long Load Times
Some users are experiencing ridiculously long load times when doing things like loading the menu, game, etc. It can literally take over 5-10 minutes for some people. Oddly enough, this may relate to error logging that is done by the game.

Sound Tweak
Users using surround sound headsets such as the Logitech G35 will experience a lot of static or crackling to the point of actual damaging to the hearing when using the base game. There is no definite fix for this however there is a way to change it in the files.

This will fix the game's sound partly, because static might still occur however most of the problem is over.
If this fix does not work, there is an alternative solution to static and crackling problems.

|---|
It is recommended that you backup the Audio.scr file before doing this, though if you don't you can always just delete the file and the game will create a new one.
