Issues unresolved

Freezes

The game freezes randomly in chapter 6.[15][16]

Issues fixed

Characters have black textures and textures in background are black

Do not disable SSSSS in ENGINESETTINGS from configuration file(s) location.[17]
By disabling it, characters will have black textures.[18]
Do not disable VolumetricLights and LightShafts in ENGINESETTINGS from configuration file(s) location.[19]
By disabling it, black textures can be seen in background.[20]

Can't exit tent in chapter 6

Near the end of chapter 6 is a tent where you order Melie to open a chest. After that she goes through the exit but sometimes you can't go through it.[21][22]
You can try these possible solutions
  1. Try capping the game to 60 fps.[23]
  2. Use windowed mode, this will cap your fps to 60.[24]
  3. Use borderless mode.[25][26]

Frametime Spikes

Disabling Simultaneous Multi-threading (SMT) on a Ryzen system may resolve constant frametime spikes or erratic frametimes, providing a smoother experience by only running the game on one thread per physical CPU core. A tool such as Process Lasso[27] will allow you to disable SMT only for this game. Unknown if this is an issue on Intel systems, if so they may also benefit from disabling Hyper-threading. [Note 2]

    Tested by running the game with EGS closed which resulted in the game crashing then booting up EGS and starting properly after. Using the -EpicPortal command at the end of my Shortcut causes the game to just crash and not even launch EGS.
