Sniper Elite 4 is now available on both the Xbox One and Windows PC. This game is the largest and most advanced World War 2 shooter ever built. You’ll experience tactical third-person combat, gameplay choice and epic battles. Your mission: to liberate wartime Italy from the grip of Fascism.

Creating a stable and reliable game for PC is always a challenging task due to the wide variety of hardware configurations. Players report that Sniper Elite 4 is affected by a series of technical issues on both PC and Xbox One.

Sniper Elite 4 reported bugs

Download stuck

Quite a significant number of players report they can’t even download the game. The download process suddenly stops at a certain point, and won’t advance irrespective of how long they wait.

Sniper Elite 4 won’t launch

Other players can’t launch the game. When they hit the play button, nothing actually happens.

I pre-loaded yesterday to download it. Expected to be able to play this AM but download stuck on 94% and nothing seems to be happening. Cleared the cache and that doesn’t seem to work either.

Sniper Elite 4 freezes

Gamers also report that Sniper Elite freezes, and the only option to somehow ‘fix’ this problem is to simply restart the computer.

Reinstalled the game, same thing happens. The launcher appears but when you click play, nothing happens. Even the green ingame steam color goes back to blue.

Low FPS and other graphics issues

Well, it appears Sniper Elite 4’s graphics quality leaves a bit to be desired at the moment. Players report that the game is affected by severe stuttering, limiting the gaming experience.

Well i have been playing this for a few hours and i am guessing its game day start up bugs. […] I have a number of game frezzes which went along with several restarts of my pc.

Some players even report that their frame rate goes from a steady 90-95 frames down to 10 FPS every 20-30 seconds. This basically makes the game unplayable.

Looks horrible on anything else than “Ultra”, that´s why I don´t really enjoy it atm. And i have some weird sound stuttering, although all drivers are up to date. But hey, it´s launch day and things will get better with some patches and fixes.

Audio issues

Players also report that Sniper Elite 4 is affected by horrible audio issues. As a quick workaround, you can try restarting the game, as players confirm this action temporarily solves the problem.

Pre-order items missing

Players who pre-ordered Sniper Elite 4 should receive additional game content, but these items are missing for many of them.

I played through 2 & a half missions with headphones setting with no issues, however one time I launched the game the audio had horrible quality. Restarting it fixed that.
