Issues unresolved
Knife of Dunwall: Crashing during the third act
The DLC appears to crash a lot for people in the third act, no solution.
Possible solution:
| Instructions |
|---|
Knife of Dunwall: Low resolution textures on butchers
The game is using the low detail textures on butchers instead of the high detail textures.
Knife of Dunwall: Missing 2D image files
Generic placeholder images are replacing some 2D icons and images in-game.[4]
Game crash at startup
- Some users report that turning Steam Cloud off and on again solves the problem.
| Instructions |
|---|
Issues fixed
Screen turns white or very bright randomly during gameplay
| Instructions |
|---|
"First time setup" runs every time game is started
| Instructions |
|---|
Texture Pop-in When Switching Weapons
| Instructions |
|---|
- Please note that unless the high quality texture can be loaded right away by your computer, this can make the texture pop-in even more noticeable, since it only disable the fade that is meant to hide the transition from low to high quality texture.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/205100/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (205100) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
