Can't finish the game
Me and my friend have been on the boat scene now for over 1 hour trying to complete this and after i escape getting spiked by the axe, press to jump off, the game makes the splash noise, boat engine still running and textures still moving (water in background etc) and basically it stays like that constantly. Rather Pissed off here as the entire game isd buggy asf, zoom issues, audio issues, lag, laggy scenes, forced to skip stuff and to top it all off, can't even complete the game. A total of 10 tries on this boat, tried everything, nothing works. verified intergrity of files, tried different options and not a thing works. How is it possible to release a game in which is so buggy, its incompletable....when is this going to get fixed? unbelievably disppointing and a waste of money..

Some of them can't even start. You are still very lucky! ;)

That definitely sucks, regardless, I wouldn't call myself or others very lucky...Being able to start the game entirely, or not being able to finish it...that's a seriously bad overlook on the developers part..

No, happened to me on "attack" on Single Player right now....LIVE streaming as well

We faced the same issue in Coop as well. As soon as Mark puts the boat anker in the killer's chest, the other player gets a black screen. For me the cutscene continues till the next quicktime event where Mark has to jump off the boat.
The game freezes and I can only see half of Mark's blurred chest and the water running in the background.
We tried restarting the scene (by continuing the story as well as by chosing the specific scene to start with) multiple times and we always ended up with the same outcome.
There is absolutely nothing we could do about this and especially so close to the end it's quite depressing...

And here I was complaining about the state of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet; guess there's always worse...

Hello everyone,

I'm very sorry to hear that you all encountered this issue. I saw a report elsewhere of a freeze at the end of the game, and assuming this may be the same issue, I'm keen to get a video clip showing the freeze as it happens and what it looks like, so that the devs can take a closer look and try to identify the issue.

Would any of you be able to provide one for me? If you can specify the choices you made prior to it happening when Du'Met begins his attack on the boat, that would be brilliant as well, just in case they're relevant.

Finally - if either yourselves or your partner players see a black screen when this happens, can you please let me know?

Thank you - and please accept my sincere apologies for this issue and for any negative impact that it has had on each of your playthroughs.

Me and my freidn are having the same issue. After the QTE you need to do so Mark jumps off the boat, I only hear the sound of him falling into the water but he is frozen. The background still moves. My friend, who is playing as Kate, has a black screen and the loading symbol.
We can't finish the game. We tried a few times but everytime the gmae freezes at the same scene.

--> I have recorded a video of the Lake scene up to the point where the issue appears. Apart from that we have played the scene multiple times with different choices, but the bug appeared nontheless. In the video I have marked where player 2 gets the black screen (it looks like the regular loading screen with a black background and the skull in the lower right corner)

--> Download Link for the video: {LINK REMOVED}
edit: since I can't post the link here you can contact me via direct message

We hope this helps ;)

So I figured out if you hold down a button until you feel like it's about to tell you "Press ○" or whatever it'll play through it...if that makes sense

Hello. No idea someone still watching this or not, but i get a bugg i think. First time when i finished the game, its work well. Right now at the end when Mark need to do the qte nothing happening and this is why Du'Met cut his throat. I try to hold, i try to press faster the left click and still not happen anything. No idea what can fix it or its just a bugg. Anyone have this issue right now and know how fix it? Also same issue at the start point when i try to get the "Until death of use part 2" achivment.
