NOTE: Anything that has been striked has been reported as being resolved (additional comments may be added if issues are found that link to the original issue) Thanks

Technical Issues:

1: MUCH more optimisation needed; I (and many others) cannot maintain even a steady 60 fps - (PC specs on Steam profile). 'Microstuttering' (frame pacing) is also an issue
2: Players are experiencing random crashes
3: The textures are very poor - blurry and low resolution (not even a texture quality setting)
4. Ultrawide 21:9 resolutions are not correctly supported (3440x1440 for example): the main menu is not correct, the blood splatter box is restriceted to 16:9 and the sides of the screen flickers - Some reports of inccorect HUD scaling however (16:9 HUD despite being on 21:9) - See here: http://i.imgur.com/sBSwRkn.jpg
5: The HUD does not scale correctly at higher resolutions
6: A 'Water Quality' or similar setting should be added
7: View distance sliders should be added - (seperate ones for shadows, objects, NPCs, ect)
8: There needs to be more antialiasing options as FXAA (or TXAA) is not great (makes it even MORE blurry - would like to see MSAA and MFAA (x2, x4, x6)
9: Toggles need to be added for certain effects such as chromatic aberration
10: Toggles should be added for HUD/UI elements (such as the rear view mirror)
11: Clouds day/night cycle is not working correctly sometimes (first its sunny, pops out some darkness and again back to sunny) - Please see this video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcwTEkeTUpE
12: The extra mouse buttons cannot be bound (mouse 4, 5, ect)
13: Add SLI support
14: Support needs adding for AMD Phenom users ASAP - Crashes, ect. They cannot even get the game loaded - see video here for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fqvjt2-G80
15: Reflections 'bug' out - (see images here for reference: http://i.imgur.com/gqqDldz.png and http://i.imgur.com/o3nqgFQ.png)
16. Lack of Anisotropic Filtering (AF) (4x 8x and 16x) in the settings
17: Ambient Occulusion needs more clear settings (what kind of AO is being used? - SSAO? HBAO? HBAO+?)
18: Add full mouse support to all menus
19: A proper main start menu needs to be added - (with such things as load, options, exit, etc)
20. General bugs/glitchiness - see videos here for examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZokdmzvDGA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iur69T-5_Q and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJEpKmXWuxY
21: Unable to complete first 'Vito Hit' mission - game crashes when about to shot the target - now the gas station backroom is empty. Fixes tried: got Lincoln killed, did another side mission - nothing
22: Some vehicles spawn and explode in the road or while parked (most common when parked) - some times they clip into the floor and start to fly everywhere
23: The brightness seems to go ridiculously high at random intervals - see screenshots here for reference: http://i.imgur.com/DJgUGMZ.png and http://i.imgur.com/5DU2iid.png
24: More camera settings needed - for example: auto centering while driving should be toggleable on/off. Another example: a camera height setting should be added (high, low)
25: The AA setting keeps defaulting to 'High' after a game restart
26: No option to change refresh rate
27: Separate options for aiming/camera inversion and sensitivity should be added
28: No borderless fullscreen in the settings - needs adding
29: The skybox seems low quality - see screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/zCGXQYu.png and video here (1:50): https://youtu.be/QjKdZ7DuFAQ?t=115
30: No sound from boats
31: Button prompts not appearing when using DS4/Steam Controller without third-party programs
32: The wiretap node activation can bug - see video here for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbn4xGZiCsk
33: Dead bodies can often glitch through walls - see screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/PebwpI6.png
34. An option to toggel mouse acceleration on and off should be added
35: Sometimes your car is found sunken into the ground and pops up when you enter
36: Key unkillable targets will slowly move back when punched while "downed". With enough punches, the target will go through the wall, and cannot be interrogated. An example is when you raid the warehouse where Nicki takes over later on. On the top floor office room where the target is, the player can punch him through the brick wall.
37: Add the option to turn off AA altogether
38: Add a sharpening (low, medium, high) setting
39: Vehicle headlights do not show in the rear view mirror
40: More sound options should be added (such as Stereo, 5.1 and 7.1)
41: Random infinite loading screens after cutscenes

Gamplay Issues:

1: Very bad AI. The AI do not seem to act how they should - enemies/cops/people doesnt react to your actions well - they can see you stabbing somebody and they still stand and wait for you to kill them too, or cops shoot you but after that they wait, or dont notice you killed somebody at all - even if its not from long distance. Police also do not notice traffic violations - Please see this video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMEXZmXTm_U
2: NPCs often do not react to your car
3: The AI cars usually go in the opposite lane and start to go in circles.
4: The same tutorial messages pop up more than once (often they are not relevant to the situation)
5: Player's cars are not found where they last left them
6: There doesn't seem to be any way to save your game
7: The ability to replay missions should be added
8: An option to turn off the radio completely should be added
9: [Bug] - No boats spawn during the 'Are We Cool' mission
10: Some players are finding the 'Hard' difficulty not hard enough - maybe the addition of harder difficulties would be good
11: Add controller presets
12: Add multiple reticle options (such as a simple white dot)
13: Soms mission waypoints do not show - examples:
- Destroy Black Market Products
- Destroy Slot Maschines
- Bust Up The Street Games
- Find and Follow The Bagmen
- Find and Steal the Dead Drops
14: After completeing the main game, missions such as 'Steal the Truck' and 'Steal the Boat' are still shown on the map. There is nothing to steal at said points
15: A Vargas painting is unobtainable in the Casino after the Casino mission (cannot interact with the doors to get back in)

Other 'Issues':

1: No wildlife : Only see is alligators - (no birds, cats, dogs, rats, ect)
2: No train/tram even though there is a track
3: A lot of things cannot be climbed on, even if Lincoln can reach it. Example: A car was laying on its side - it was unclimbable
4: There's no fast travel or Taxi system
5: No bullet holes when shooting someone (only blurry, faint splatter)
6: No blood puddles when doing brutal melee kills
7: Bodies should remain ragdolls after death
8: The ability to close doors after they have been opened should be added
9: The option to either lockpick or break car windows should be added
10: The ability to purchase food from restauraunts should be added - Could be specific to each restauraunt/bar (each location has it's own kinds of food) to eat/drink to restore health
11: The police do not drop any weapons or ammo. This could be added
12: Add barbers around town so Lincoln can change his hair/beard style
13: Only doors that are locked are kickable; all doors should be (unlocked ones)

When shooting someone theres really no visible bulletholes, just some blurry faint splatter. No blood puddles when doing a brutal melee kill. The corpses are "un-immersive" (lol), like sometimes maybe you just wanna fill a damn corpse with bullets for no reason but it's like you can't do much with them after they're down (except for lifting them up ofc..). I was very disappointed when I were trying to finish of an enemy I just shot down (he was crawling around) by driving over him. The car just drove over him like he wasn't there and he were still crawling. When an enemy is gunned down and crawling around, shooting them again look so unrealistic, it's like they gently fall asleep..
Also, no footprints from walking in puddles from shot enemies and clipping through their corpses (devs to lazy to implement?). All this are just some minor improvements regarding a more immersive experience when killing people, lol.

I know this is not the most important stuff tho, just saying.

If they don't, or they decide not to do anything with this disaster of a game, they'll go down the Arkham path pretty quick.

I'd say the fact that not even critics with high-end PCs can run it properly is a big enough problem in itself.
