Key points
- It is recommended to save frequently and make occasional backup copies of the save file, especially before chapter 9 due to potential save corruption.
- Green and purple filters present in the original release have been removed.[1][2][3][4]
- Resolution is locked to 1280x720. Use DPfix to increase rendering resolution along with many other options.
- This port was heavily criticized at release due to glitches and crashing. A patch was released to increase stability.
- The Director's Cut suffers from an unsaturated color palette. See SweetFX for a workaround.
- Lacks brightness option present in the PlayStation 3 version.[5]

Issues unresolved
York begins mumbling at sidequest 20
When York is talking to Lilly in the Milk Barn for the third and final storage room sidequest, York begins mumbling during the conversation.[8]
There are no known fixes for this, although this is a very minor glitch and does not prevent the player from doing the sidequest.
Cutscenes don't play
For some, cutscenes aren't shown. The player must press Esc or ↵ Enter to get past a black screen in order to get to the next section.
Game crashes after logos
Some users on Windows 7 are unable to boot the game beyond the logos. Windows Event Viewer shows a crash relating to XAudio2_7.dll unloaded

Crash at the beginning of Chapter 9 corrupts save file
A common occurrence is for the game to crash during the cutscenes at the start of chapter 9 (going from the art gallery to the diner) and corrupt the save file. The cutscenes should be skipped to avoid this.
A save file made right after these cutscenes is available here.
- Side mission information can found here.
