Microsoft Store PC Users - Large Patch Size
If you purchased the game via the Microsoft Store on PC, be aware that Patch 1.0.1 is 46.79 GB - significantly larger than on other platforms (Steam: 294.6 MB, Epic: 332.3 MB). This is due to how Microsoft packages and delivers updates....

- Verify
- Confirm entitlement in the launcher before assuming the item is missing in-game.
Microsoft Store PC - Download Size Display Issue
The Microsoft Store PC version may show an incorrect download size of approximately 57-58 GB. IO Interactive has confirmed this is a known issue and will be resolved in the next two updates.

Use the fix finder above before reinstalling. Start with the latest patch, then change one thing at a time. If you change GPU selection, controller settings, launcher DLC state, and overlays all at once, you will not know which fix actually worked.
For crashes, make a small launch test after every change. For controller issues, test input at the menu and in a low-risk save. For DLC, confirm the launcher entitlement before assuming the item is missing in-game.
