Issues unresolved

Startup

Game frequently will not launch from Steam Launcher for a large number of players. No known work-around other than to continue clicking Play repeatedly until game starts.^[5]

Impossible to disable aim assistance

Game supports three different levels of aim assistance when playing with a controller: High, Low and Off. High and Low work as intended (high snaps towards the nearest target, low slows down crosshairs when near an enemy), but Off behaves exactly the same as Low. This also happens on consoles.^[6]

Issues fixed

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Game ignores Windows settings and forces 60 Hz while in fullscreen for users with higher refresh rate monitors.^[7]

Use Special K to fix^[8]
Install Special K to fix the forced refresh rate.

Random crashes

Change the frame rate cap^{[citation needed]}
Change the frame rate cap from Unlimited to 30 or 60 FPS.

Failure to launch: vcruntime140.dll missing

Install Visual C++ Redistributable^{[citation needed]}
Install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

Blur Removal and graphics improvement

Install Reshade^[9]
Install Reshade

Anti-aliasing^[10]
Changing anti-aliasing setting to Low reduces blurring

Controller Sensitivity Too High

Reduce mouse sensitivity^[11]
Reduce both the controller and mouse sensitivity under Options -> Controls in the Pause menu.

Disable the Steam overlay^[12]
Right-click the game in your Steam library. Click Properties. Un-tick Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game. Click the Close button.

"You talked about the engine and in this point of view it looks really good, using the same engine as in the second installment?
Yes, it's our own engine and is basically the same. Of course, during the development of the game is changing and improving, but we use it only for Mafia III, so we really consider it as our own."
