Issues fixed
NPCs path incorrectly with an uncapped framerate
- In some stages, NPCs can be distracted using the Poltergeist ability. If the framerate is uncapped, their pathing will break and they can walk out of bounds.
Cap the framerate
|
- This can be done without external tools using the game's VSync option, which caps the framerate to 30. Using external software to cap the framerate to 60 should not trigger this bug either.
|
"Get Back to Joy" graveyard glitch
- In the Graveyard stage when the "Get Back To Joy" objective appears, Joy will occasionally fail to spawn at the beginning of the level, and proceeding across the bridge will replay cutscenes from earlier in the stage.
Proceed anyway[4]
|
- Go to the bridge and ignore the two misplaced cutscenes.
- Cross the bridge to the end of the level and the correct cutscene will play.
- The pause menu may still show the incorrect current objective, and as a result new objectives will not display in the pause menu.
