 * The Last Breath Chapter DLC, when originally launched, required the Player to manually install the DLC, this was changed so it is now pre-installed.
 * When the Headcase DLC launched, it was wrongfully launched with 5 sets of exclusive DLC clothing. Those had been patched out shortly afterwards.
