Game freezing and crashing during Somnium scenes
- Multiple players have reported experiencing either freezes or crashes during specific Somnium scenes.[10]
- Many have gotten past these problems with general troubleshooting including lowering graphical settings, updating drivers and disabling software inserting overlays into the game, but this has not worked for everyone.[citation needed]
Issues fixed
Game freezes during movie scenes
- The bug seems to be affecting Windows 7 users specifically.
- There is a beta available which should fix the issue.
Join beta branch[11] |

- For N-versions of Windows, Media Feature Pack is required to be installed.[12] Download for Windows 7 or Windows 10.
Ending movie ignores audio language setting
- The game's ending movie is presented in your UI language no matter what your audio language is set to.
- A fan-made patch allows to force display of the Japanese cutscene with subtitles regardless of the UI language.
