A lot of people complained a lot. Given that there is no save method other than auto-save I guess some people are really badass or don't care at starting over and over again from the last auto-save point. I won't be playing on the Hard setting anytime soon.

I'm glad to see the head bob and 4:3 ratio fix. Both were major issues. Now that they have the smaller items out of the way they will hopefully dig further into the game and fix bigger issues.

• Implemented a toggle for head bob in Options|Game Settings
• Implemented a toggle for film grain in the Options|Performance|Advanced Settings menu

This is wrong in the release notes. The setting is under Options|Game Settings right above the toggle for Head Bob. Whoever wrote out the release notes screwed up.
