Known Issues
Persistent sound effect loop
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Oftentimes, after ending a mission, a sound effect will persist and keep looping forever.
- Workaround: download this file. Put this ini file in the inis folder (replace the old one).
HUD/Text lines
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Running in resolutions higher than native will result in lines in various HUD elements and UI text.
- Workaround: (Partial Fix) Enable Manual Hardware Rendering Fixes then set Round Sprite to Half in Upscaling Fixes. This will fix many horizontal offset issues leaving just combat HUD and minor vertical offset issues. You can attempt to tweak further with Texture Offsets but be warned not everything lines up at the same values and you may introduce other issues instead.
