KNOWN ISSUES
Hey all,

This message will be updated to list commonly known issues and progress on solutions going forward. We appreciate all the help this community has already provided to help us identify and track things down. We are staggering our patches to get proper testing, so if it isn’t in the next patch it should be in the one shortly after.

  • We’ve tried to provide sufficient resources for all required combat scenarios, but if you find yourself blocked or stuck due to lack of resources, please try the “restart from checkpoint” option from the player menu. We will continue to resource balance to reduce this. - Case by Case Tuning
  • Abrupt transition occurs to credits from the Mind Body Spirit endings instead of a smooth transition. – Patch in Testing
  • Multi-colored corrupt looking textures -- this is a driver bug Epic/Unreal are sorting out with Nvidia. - Will update when we receive more info/it's fixed.
  • Keyboard and mouse customization doesn’t work yet. - Patch in Testing
  • Background menu video doesn’t work with some Linux setups, causing the screen to be white. – Investigating/Info appreciated
  • Stuttering/Hitching due to shader compiles on certain hardware configurations. Pre-compiled shader cache being added - Patch Live - please provide feedback
  • Progression - Chapter 2 End - There is very edge case blocker making player unable to interact with a mirror. Temporary solution: Restart from checkpoint - Fix in Progress

    I tested this on the steam deck, my laptop and desktop. The same issue is affecting all of them with Proton 7, experimental and every version of Proton GE 7 that I had installed. The same issue is also visible for this person: https://youtu.be/mFZ-J3f8QhY?t=1506
    It seems it's affecting all Linux setups.

    I also opened an issue tracker with proton: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6291
    The proton log is available there as well along with my specs for the laptop. The desktop is not really a gaming machine so not really that important.

    I could'nt interact with the mirror. But it seems that pushing the enemy really close to the mirror helped me.

    My problem is that the two analogs move the character and the camera at the same time, technically it is unplayable with a controller, I use an Xbox 360 controller.

    We weren't able to reproduce this, but could you please try the following speculative fix? Right click on The Chant in Steam -> Properties -> Controller -> Override for The Chant -> Disable Steam Input. I don't have an xbox 360 controller right now, but I will try it out tomorrow in the office. Please let us know if this works out for you.

    Thanks

    Thanks for all the info and followup. We have a steam deck at work and will get a log to see if we can address this video player issue. We don't officially support the steam deck at launch, but it seems like we're close and would love to sort these issues out, as there seems to be quite a bit of interest.

    Great game ! Only things that are bothering me are
    1) Stuttering , like you mentioned . Anoying little freezes
    2) mouse cursor in the center of the screen in upgrade menu . i play with a xbox controller
    The rest is great so far (going to the lighthouse) . Great visual quality (4k) . And also huge thanks for the russian translation

    Yea, it runs great on Steam Deck thanks to FSR2 and great on my laptop as well, the background videos are the only issue there is but unfortunately it's severe enough that I can't progress further. If there's any other info I can provide or anything I can help with to solve this feel free to contact me, this seems like a really good game and I'm really enthusiastic about playing it.

    Hello....at first: This game is AMAZING! But it needs some improvement in performance. It often stutters a lot. Thats my only negative point. THIS GAME IS AMAZING

    The fight with Kim is bugged. I keep shoving her in front of the mirror, but when I press E as instructed, nothing happens.

    Hi there, first of all, props on the storyline and gameplay loop. very cool.
    The only problem is i'm stuck on the fight with kim, no matter how many times i press the button or position her towards the mirror, nothing happens.

    Thanks

    I have the same issue. In addition, the A and B buttons act as if I'm pressing them both at the same time whenever I hit one of them (each input attempts to confirm and cancel at the same time, it seems).

    I followed the suggestions and disabled the Steam Input, but there was no change. Funny enough, I found that if I unplug the controller, then launch the game and plug it back in after the game has started up, the issues go away. It's a very awkward fix, and I've never seen this issue before.

    I'm using a Logitech F310 controller, which runs like an XBox controller with internal emulation. I don't have issues with other games. Hope this helps...

    This is a known edge case bug we are hard at work on.. Going to the pause menu and selecting restart from checkpoint should address this. Please let me know if this doesn't solve the issue. Apologies for the inconvenience.

    I also am stuck on the fight with Wretcher, I don't have anything to kill him with :harveysad:

    Killing Wretcher is optional. There are geometric keys for the gate located around the Wretcher gloom area that unlock the cultist gate that is beyond the building at the top of the stairs. One of them is a somewhat hidden cave.

    Hope this helps.
