CapCom Unity announces the release of the first patch for the Windows edition of Dead Rising 3 to address some crashes in the zombie game, though they add that they are still working on an additional issue:

First of all, the team here at Capcom would like to thank you for your patience and support many of you have provided in the original bug report thread.

Without further ado, the first patch rolling out today [available now] will address the following issues:

• Fixed an issue which caused game progress to not save or load correctly when Steam Cloud is enabled.
• Fixed an issue which made it impossible to select native resolutions on some video card / monitor setups.
• Fixed an issue which was causing the game to not shut down properly.

Note that you may need to restart or log in/out of your Steam client to force the patch download. Download size should be around 10MB, and the patch is applicable to everyone who owns DR3.

Note on crash issues
Please note the team is still actively looking into fixing the initial load-screen CTD/hangs affecting certain Nvidia Optimus laptop users as well as the random in-game crash affecting a subset of desktop users. The information you have provided has given us good leads which we are investigating now. We expect to have more news for you soon.
