Known Issues

  • Network uplink bandwidth, while improved, can be demanding.
  • Steam attempts to install XNA framework every time game is launched or rare occasion.
  • Characters can in rare cases fall through the level collision mesh, this is due to lag or poor framerate. Many general network improvements and general optimization will reduce this risk.
  • The game may appear to be stuttering even though framerate is good.
