Issues unresolved

Increasingly intrusive visual artifacts start gradually appearing when standing still in somnium scenes

Only appears when playing on high framerates (100+). A temporary workaround is to limit the framerate to 97. Any higher (e.g. 99FPS) and the framerate might exceed the 100FPS value temporarily, triggering the runaway bug.

Game Freezes During Movie Scenes

This bug seems to be effecting Windows 7 users specifically.
There is beta available which should fix the issue.
Join beta branch[5]
  1. From Steam, open games properties and navigate into Betas tab.
  2. Give passcode Windows7Beta and submit.
  3. From dropdown menu, select Windows7_test - Windows7_Beta_Version.
  4. Close the properties window and launch the game after Steam installs the beta.
For N-versions of Windows, Media Feature Pack is required to be installed.[6] Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Xbox One controller disconnecting with bluetooth

When playing with Xbox One controller using bluetooth connection, controller will lose connection every 10-15 minutes.[7]
