| Xbox button prompts | If you plug in the Xbox controller while the game is already running, the game won’t display the button prompts and you’ll only be able to navigate through the menus. To avoid this issue, you need to go to the options menu and switch from keyboard to gamepad, or return to the game’s start menu and press a button on the controller first. | |

| Simultaneous controller+KB/M | It can only detect keyboard and controller keystrokes in the menus and multiplayer mode. This is because the game can only detect one type of control for a player and not both keyboard and controller for the same player. |
