Issues unresolved
Naz stucks in prologue
During the first/Prologue mission you're supposed to follow Naz to escape the police. While escaping the fish market after climbing over the crates Naz gets stuck in that area and the animation sequence where Wei does a jump takedown to a policeman fails to trigger. However, if the player choose to run straight Naz will spawn someway ahead before the cutscene sequence. This issue still happens in the up-to-date original version. Doesn't seem to happen in the initial release version without dlcs. Note: Definitive Edition is unaffected.
HkShip.exe has stopped working
To be resolved issue.[12]
Run the game in compatibility mode[citation needed] |
---|
Run the game in a lower quality[citation needed] |
---|
Can't choose custom refresh rate
- When selecting resolution in video options, only pre-made presets are available, user can't choose to change refresh rate, which often force players to play in windowed mode.
Can't force game into fullscreen
- The game starts in windowed mode and no matter what you do it just stays in windowed mode. Alt+↵ Enter doesn't work and neither does setting the video option to fullscreen.
Close TeamViewer if installed[citation needed] |
---|
Disable TeamViewer's QuickConnect[citation needed] |

|
Close (or stop) Actual Multiple Monitors, or other multi-monitor software if installed[citation needed] |

Low performance on Nvidia cards
- The game is optimized for AMD cards, and thus Nvidia cards can post low FPS for the auto detected settings.[citation needed]
Improve frame rate[citation needed] |
---|
Setting "Enable Quality Anti-Aliasing" and "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" to Normal should noticeably improve FPS. |
