Issues unresolved
Issues fixed
Crash during final quest
- Attempting to enter a room with a specific character will result in the game crashing. As this room must be entered to progress, the game is unwinnable.[20][21]
- Fixed in version 1.1.[22]
Game Pass version doesn't start with an error 0x803F8001
- Change the region in Windows to USA.[23]
Game crashes to desktop after a black screen
- Install the Windows 10 Media Feature Pack.[24]
Nyoka companion quest fails to start
- Some have reported the "Passion Pills" companion quest may fail to start, effectively soft-locking the game as it seems to be required to continue the main quest.[25]
- Fortunately, a developer command can be used to force the quest to begin.
