Issues fixed

Various fixes can be found in the Steam Users' Forum FAQ by the developer.

DPI scaling issues and blurry, pixelated visuals

If a DPI scaling setting higher than "100%" is selected in Windows, the game can look blurry or may be too large to properly fit the screen.
Enable the "high DPI settings override" in the compatibility settings of the game executable[citation needed]

Low FPS on Windows 10

After updating to Windows 10, reaching 60 FPS is impossible even on good hardware.
Run the game with the -nofixedstep command line argument and enable V-sync in-game[citation needed]

Lost savegames

When starting the game, all or some save games are missing.[5]
Move saves to a new location[5]
  1. Search all the save game data locations and find the most recent ones.
  2. Copy these most recent Saves to all the other save game data locations. Some which are missing may need to be created manually.

Game crashes during launch

Install Microsoft XNA Framework 4.0 or 3.1[6]
Opt into Legacy Beta on Steam[7]
  1. Right click Bastion in the Steam library
  2. Select Properties...
  3. Select BETAS tab
  4. Select legacy - legacy branch
  5. Click Close button and allow the game to download the necessary files.
Close the MSI Afterburner overlay[citation needed]
  1. In the system tray, right click on MSI Afterburner and click Close.
  2. Other overlays such as Mumble or Fraps may apparently cause the same issue as well, so try disabling those as well.
