Several extra technical hurdles persist. Platform transfers between Microsoft consoles and desktop PCs can cause progress files to fail in loading properly. To prevent permanent loss, the publisher recommends avoiding new playthrough creation if transfer files vanish, while a proper patch remains in development.

Additionally, desktop editions may crash during startup if vertical synchronization is turned off alongside uncapped frame rates. Steam Deck users might also notice interface components extending beyond visible screen borders. Furthermore, utilizing Arabic or certain other localizations as system settings can prevent users from getting past the title screen, with switching to English acting as a temporary workaround.
