  • Updating the driver to the latest version may improve performance (NVIDIA only).

  • The problem with unlocking achievements has already been solved, but in some very rare cases, the following issues may occur:


      ○ There may be some delay in unlocking achievements on a platform that requires an Internet connection for this process;
      For those whose achievements were achieved entirely on savegames before or during the Day 1 patch, there may be some issues, which can be solved as follows:


        a) In case the achievements were not unlocked, even though their progress was achieved, it will be necessary to re-execute all the conditions by starting a new game.

        b) In the rare case where all achievements have been obtained, but the "The Motherland Does Not Forget its Heroes" achievement has not been unlocked for achieving them all, the problem can be solved simply by starting a new game. Data will be recalculated at the launch of the new game, which will entail unlocking the achievement.
