Widescreen resolution
- For some reason, the game truncates the internal resolution to multiples of 64 pixels (e.g. 1920x1080 becomes 1920x1024, 3440x2160 becomes 3392x2112, etc.), giving rise to a slightly distorted image.
Modify the game executable to allow a native internal resolution |

Issues unresolved
Stuck in reading a collection from Emporium
- If you visit Collector's Emporium and decide to read one of his collection, you will become stuck in reading mode without an option to leave it. This can be seen after you finish reading a collection and going to read the next one, instead of showing you how it looks and giving you the option to read it, the text just appears on screen.[10]
Blue filter in the last chapter
- A blue filter may appear in the last chapter if you get hit and have low hp after finishing the boss battle. The blue filter will appear in all cutscenes until credits roll.[11]
Issues fixed
Audio stuttering
- The audio may stutter.[12]
Unplug any controllers or gamepads that the game might be detecting |
---|
Unusually low FPS on Nvidia GTX 900 series (Maxwell) graphics cards
- Modern drivers for the Maxell-series make the game perform at around 15fps or some reason[13]
- Technically the Maxwell-series GPU's are below minimum specifications, so issues are to be expected
Revert your drivers back to version 471.11[14][15] |
---|
|
Scripting and physics issues when playing at refresh rates above 60Hz
- Some scripts and collisions tend to break when the game is running above 60 fps.[citation needed]
Cap frame rate to 60 FPS or lower[citation needed] |
---|
|
Input delay
- Going above or not setting your actual refresh rate in game will result in input delay.[16]
Change refresh rate in game[17][18] |
---|
Characters following you and breaking cutscenes
- By triggering the cockpit interactions first instead of last, characters will start following you in every room and in cutscenes with other characters they will stand still.[19][20]
Don't trigger the cockpit interactions first |
---|
Mouse cursor may appear in cutscenes and in battles
Restart game[23] |
---|
Collector's Emporium text appears in other scenarios
- If you visited Collector's Emporium and decided to read some of his collections, the text can reappear and overlap when you pick an object or when you read other logs.[24][25]
Restart game[26] |
---|
Characters disappearing from real time cutscenes
- In some real time cutscenes characters may disappear.[27]
Die in the mission and this will retrigger the cutscene[28] |
