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.

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.
