Issues fixed
Noclip bug
- A common problem that is encountered after saving in certain places and then reloading from that save point is the player will suddenly start clipping through walls and be unable to progress normally.
Use console commands[citation needed] |

"The program cannot start because PhysXLoader.dll is missing from your computer" error at launch
- It provides no error message if launched from Steam. This error only appears on direct launch.
Install PhysX legacy |
---|
Install the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software. |
Advanced PhysX effects still not rendering ingame with legacy drivers
This is what I had to end up doing on my system :
1. Install legacy physx software https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-13-0604-legacy-driver/ 2. Install 'modern' physx https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-19-0218-driver/ 3. Choose your GPU as physx processor in Nvidia Control Panel. 4. Make sure you have shader model 4.0 selected and advanced effects turned on in the game's video settings
"Cryostasis Termination" error on startup
- On startup, the game crashes directly to an error message stating "Effect::Load() failed. screen_00.fxo File not found".
Change Shader version in config file[citation needed] |

Black Screen on startup
- On startup, the game is a black screen but has audio.
Change Resolution in the config file to your native resolution[6] |
