Issues unresolved
- The game suffers from some minor CPU-load related hitching issues during traversal at specific points in the world where data is being loaded. More powerful CPUs will show a less intense stutter.[5]
Issues fixed
Game crashes during gameplay (Fatal D3D Error)
- This Fatal D3D Error crash is believed to be VRAM-related; the game crashing when running out of VRAM instead of using system RAM in that case. Though, some reports also say these crashes can happen on higher-end GPUs like the RTX 4090, which should realistically not suffer from any VRAM limitations.[5]
| Reduce the VRAM usage by lowering game's (texture) quality settings, resolution and/or turn off ray tracing[5][6][7] |
|---|
Progress blocker (Chapter 12)
- The developers have acknowledged a rare yet critical progress block that prevents players from obtaining a specific "key item" vital for progressing further in the game beyond Chapter 12. This progress blocker occurs when attacking with the knife after the cutscene at the beginning of chapter 12 ended, but before the notification of having obtained the key item appears. An upcoming patch is planned to resolve this bug (retroactively).[8]
| Refrain from attacking with the knife until the notification for obtaining the key item is displayed in the upper right of the screen[8] |
|---|
|
Going back to the village after rescuing Ashley causes FPS drop (Chapter 4)
- Once arrived at the village (after passing the church) the fps will drop massively in that area (happens on all platforms). This is due to the particles (rain, wind, etc) and the amount of NPCs (enemies) that are present at that moment.[dubious – discuss]
| Alt-tab the game to free some VRAM[citation needed] |
|---|
| Pausing the game for 5 seconds[dubious – discuss] |
|---|
Save corruption
- On Steam, if the game is closed while a save is being made or the saves are being backed up, the saves can be corrupted.[9][10]
| Follow the steps as described on the Steam forums. |
