2. Press the button combination:

CTRL+ALT+H to switch from Adventure Mode to Hardcore Mode

You should hear a sound confirming the change.

3. Press "Continue from Hub" or "Continue from Checkpoint"
4. Once the game is loaded, leave to the Main Menu again
5. Select your profile again - game mode should be switched and updated according to your choice.
