Issues unresolved

Some inputs not working on Xbox One and third-party XInput controllers

Xbox One and third-party XInput controllers do not work correctly (e.g. triggers not detected) due to the game using DirectInput instead of XInput.[4][5] Can be fixed by using the Xbox One triggers fix.
For Logitech F series controllers put the hardware switch in the D position (disconnect the controller, change the switch, and reconnect before launching the game).[6]
