Issues unresolved
Game freezes during the final boss fight
There is a high chance that the game itself will freeze, but audio will still play when the final boss' health is at 75% after the cutscene. The problem disappears only if you disconnect your PC from the internet.
This happens when you quickly open the second menu at the same time as the first one. You can exit from the second, but since the first does not show up, your character is essentially stuck. The only way to regain control is to exit the game and run it again.
Stuck in Guardian destruction scene end
After leaving the menu which describes the weapon you have received, there is a small chance that you will be stuck in a cutscene before it finishes. Exit to the main menu and continue the game. Keep in mind that you will still have to fight The Guardian once more.
Issues fixed
Crash after speaking to Archon
| Opt in to beta on Steam[7] |
|---|
Alternate method: If you are about to lvl up, try to lvl up before talking to Archon, Because after talking to Archon he will give exp that makes you lvl up so at this point the game can't handle this new lvl and crash |
Frequent crashes in combat when dealing high amounts of damage
| Disable damage numbers/Combat text[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Low framerate
| Improve low fps by making the game only use 2 CPU cores[8] |
|---|
Alternate method:
