Known bugs.
Just a small list currently discovered. Some of them achievement related, others chapter/gameplay related.

Universal

- UE4 Fatal error. Can happen time, anywhere, anytime.

- Infinite loading screen. This happens in few selected places. These are all fix now with one exception that won't load at all, just throws back to main menu

- There is 23 dog cookies, not 19 as chapter select tells and 47 photos, not 46.

- Lack of a skip button not really a bug but something that would be nice when thinking replaying.

- Character voice from time to time can disappear completely or heard very quiet. Same with music. Missing voices/music should be fix now

Chapter 1

- Not that i'm complaining this bug since i really don't mind, but the green suited man before entering ballroom with Snowy doesn't move even he clearly should. Hes just looking at hes chess game in infinite time. Chess player moves now

- You can sometimes repeatedly take the screwdriver out of the toolbox.

- The trolley that was moved to open the shaft with the screw driver became invisible after I returned to the room the second time. It could still be moved, though.

Chapter 2

- Cutscene bug: Tintin is holding the torch, but the torch is not in his hand. have been fix

- I had some big issues in the chamber where the colored stones are placed into the statues. Before I could place the last stone, Tintin was always pushed back out of nothing, as if there was something in the way. It took a few attempts until I could reach the statue.


Chapter 3

- Chapter select list one 1 photo from beginning of the chapter, while 4 cookies and 6 photos are not listed. They can still be taken however.

Chapter 4

- Sneak sections during night photos doesn't register. This have been fix. Still listed in wrong place.

- Fues office photo won't show up. Its working now.

- selecting Escaping Abudin quick time event causes infinite loading screen. Only known fix i know is to load sneaking section again. Chapter loads up now normally.

- Selecting an Infantry instruction yard causes game to freeze, not even showing loading screen. Sort of fixed, instead of crashing or giving infinite loading screen, it refuse to load at all, just throws right back at main menu..

- Achievement Save a Friend seems to be bugged, atleast i think the obstacle course is the only place to get it. Save a friend now unlocks normally.

Chapter 5

- Loading Snowy section with Fakir, professor and Tintin cause infinite loading screen. Will load up normally now, however enemies won't still see you if loaded directly in this part. Won't affect in collectibles but will be affecting "Eye's shut" achievement.

- Not really a bug but there is no option to start hospital escaping straight away, last option is arriving hospital. I don't think this is intended since every other chapter have option to select it.

- When you walk into the author's room and look from there into the living room, the living room walls disappear and you see the jungle in the background.
- During the chase in the asylum, Tintin was once stuck running. He didn't move, but kept running. It was the only time I had to force-quit the game using the task manager.

- Door where professor sleeps pop's in and out of existence.

- Again more of a glitch but its funny to see that one of the patients umbrella
is at the same time open and close and hold upside down.
They went and fix it

Chapter 6

- Some of the characters doesn't seem to move or move in incorrect way like worker 31 and hooded figure doesn't move after reaching certain point. Could also be that i'm not going as intended route because times worker 31 is there and sometimes not. Also hooded figure does move, that was me going wrong way on my first playthrough. It seems like workers now move and are position in correct way

- Photo of cigar boxes won't register at all. Have been fix (second last of the game)

I am now suffering from the infinite loading - the yellow bar makes it to approx 98% and never completes -- is there a work-around for this? otherwise I cannot progress

It's unfortunate to hear the game is in such a poor state. Hopefully the patch they have announced will sort everything out. Thanks for taking the time to list the bugs you've encountered, that should help them out considerably.

Now I just got the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH - why have the developers not addressed anything yet! Even just to say they are working on it

It will take months to fix this game, not weeks. I will be surprised if this game is patched to a smooth playable state before February.

Try running while jumping. I have manage to do that many many times so it is possible.
