Issues unresolved

High Framerate Damage Bug

When playing the game at framerates above 60 fps, sometimes when dealing multiple hits, the game will apply many more hits, dealing a large amount of damage.[10][11]

  • Limit FPS to 60 via drivers, or via RTSS, or turn on VSYNC if using a 60 Hz monitor.

Black Screen at Start or after using Alt-Tab

This bug might happen when using Full Screen mode.[12]

  • Switch to Borderless Windowed in game options.

Game Crashes at Start Up When HQ Texture Pack is Installed

For the GOG version, if the user has a drive assigned to the letter F:\, the game will crash. Change the drive letter as a workaround for this issue.[13]
