You've hit the nail on the head about all those issues. I'm hoping the rumoured patch will begin addressing these CTDs, tearing, freezing, long loads and stuttering issues. The AI is too fast and deadly. Getting through some of the missions takes tedious saving and infinite retries. Getting the data from the Waste Station was hard. Took out the mercs one by one hiding in the pipe tunnels after each kill. They still find you but you have a fighting chance in the tunnels... Getting to the helicopter in the Power Station used to be straightforward. Now it is so difficult I'm giving up and retreating until I figure out how to beat this. I just read how to use the repair kits and oil cans. Interesting. I must try "Black Road" to see how it differs...

I can neither trigger nor see the hitch command. So I decided to bypass the training missions altogether. I am now enjoying the missions even though other "bugs" creep in to annoy you from time to time. And I have not had to hitch a cannon to a truck yet:p I hope that the recently announced patch will address some of these issues.

I have completed the training tasks in the Russian campaign Training Camp missions up to the one where you have to hitch the artillery piece to the truck. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to trigger the "hitch" command after backing up the truck and choosing Mobile mode on the cannon. :( Any ideas? Otherwise this is a great game. :)

Yeah, this happened a lot to me, too. Very annoying. Sometimes you can heal the injured, sometimes they die and you have to start over. Needs a patch all right!

This level was a real puzzler. So many things did not work one time, such as delivering the girl to the LZ for pick up but no helo showed up, and did work at other times (she got picked up by the helo)! I had to restart the level twice when the save game function became corrupted and would not load blowing all that work. I learned that you can complete the level even if you don't finish some of the functions such as "Find Evidence", deliver the girl, don't report the arms cache as the priest requests, blow up the guy's house. To destroy the main base, Mission completed! Then it was the trip back to Manhatten base which was being evactuated. That is when you do the mission to get the documents at the house where you have to kill off insurgents and blow up the house. I used the satchel charge, flattened the house and it did not show up as complete in the map notes! But this does not seem to stop you from returning to Manhatten and completing the level.
