Issues unresolved
NVIDIA PhysX effects don't work properly
- NVIDIA PhysX effects like debris stop working randomly during the campaign and in the Benchmark.
Issues fixed
"PhysX SDK not initialized. PhysX System Software will be installed"
Install PhysX[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Screen flickering ATI/AMD
- Users with ATI/AMD cards may experience screen flickering while playing the game. Fixing this could highlight screen-tearing.
DLL addition[citation needed] |
---|
|
Joe's apartment door will not open in A Friend of Ours
- In the chapter A Friend of Ours, after Joe finishes his phone call, he starts walking into the door. There is no way to open the door and leave the apartment.
Enter through the front door[8] |
---|
Restart the mission and enter the apartment building using the front door. This bug only occurs when using the back door near the garage. |
Exit to the main menu and reload your save[9] |
---|
Exiting the game and reloading a save seems to work better than reloading the mission, reloading the mission seems to have a broken door. |
Infinite loading screen in Stairway to Heaven
- An infinite loading screen may occur in the chapter Stairway to Heaven after the cutscene where the player character pays back Bruno if the player raised money by holding up stores.
Restart the game[10] |
---|
|
Restart chapter[11] |
---|
Notes:
|
Game stuck in slow motion while being pursued by the police
- Playing at over ⁓100 FPS results in a bug where the game is permanently put in slow motion when police become hostile.
Cap the frame rate at 100 FPS[citation needed] |
---|
Enable VSync in the options game and set monitor to 60hz[citation needed] |
---|
Random crashes on NVIDIA GPUs
Change PhysX Processor to CPU in NVIDIA Control Panel and disable APEX PhysX in the game's video settings[12] |
