Combat very clunky due to massive frame rate drops during animations of enemies attacks, making timing of dodge, and even more so parry impossible to time correctly.
Controls are also too slow to respond having a delay between pressing a button, and action being performed.

Camera, and lock on have minds of there own, especially during combat. Camera regularly decides to point in a direction away from combat, and lock on regularly unlocks, especially on larger enemies.
Lock on also often doesn't switch between enemies when multiple enemies present, Insists on sticking to one enemy. Have to force unlock to lock onto another enemy.

Combat involves fighting fps drops, random camera movement, and random lock on/off, all leading to combat which is not fun.

In my game, Farren's voice is REALLY quiet, specifically in their running commentary and in character creation. Grunts when jumping and being hit sound fine, as do enemies' voice lines, but when Farren is saying something, it's just barely above muted.

EDIT: Wanted to jump back in real quick to say -- I don't know if it was the 1.7 patch or some driver update on my end, but this issue is fixed for me. Voices are at a good volume now. 👍

- Inventory shows Chieftain's Greatmace as being 100% mastered, but skill tree doesn't (shows 0% mastery; cannot get the skill). I don't know if it's related to the fact that when i was smithing the weapon, i got interrupted by a fight (i.e. smithing video never played)
- Ability to undo color customization (i.e. set back to default)
- Remove screen with "Press any button to continue" text (not sure what the point of this screen is)
- Because someone listed an issue related to this: When a save is present, default to "Continue" (another poster mentioned that accidentally starting a "New Game" overwrote their prior game save, which makes this a high pri bug, and not just a feature request/change)
- Have to destroy brush one at a time (aoe doesn't destroy multiples)

i do not understand why but my stray blade is always lag heavily, sometimes I can't get out of the option menus and I can not hear the dialog and have had other audio issues but for some reason my brothers pc runs it just fine

-Subtitles sometimes stick on screen and won't go away.
-The green/red arrows on items don't seem to work properly. Items that are inferior still sometimes show green up arrows, implying it's better when it's very clearly not.
-The camera constantly re-centering is insanely annoying.
-Holding CAPS to walk works fine until you attack an enemy, then it's stuck on walking until you press CAPS again and let go.
-When coming across a lore tablet and interacting with it, the game should pause to allow the player to read the lore without worry of getting attacked.

- enemies switch attacks mid swing
- enemies start an attack animation when dead and can still damage you (after execute)
- enemies can time their attack that it hits right after you execute someone and you cannot dodge or parry it
- enemies instant attack you right after an intium attack and can even hit you while you are still in the air
- enemies can kill you while you are being revived from the skill

- extremely bad performance. Cant even hit 100fps with a 5900x/4090 in some scenes

Ran into a cave without Xhinnon sight, because I did not talk to Boji and now I'm stuck in there because for the bridge you need the ability.

I just started a new game by accident because of the default position of "new game". Now hours of progress are just gone.

After picking up the club-weapon, the game would sometimes switch my weapons to the rusty sword and fists after using a teleport shroom.

[alan.littleford]

Shield parry doesn't seem to work no matter how you time it. Any attempt to parry with shield just ignores enemy attack either going straight through it, or animation is so slow enemy attack hits before shield parry animation actually begins even though parry initiated as soon as enemy starts swing of a blue attack. Shield only seems useful for blocking, and of no use for parrying. Far easier parrying with two handed sword.
All this is not helped by frame rate drops, and brief freezes during combat.

The following bug so far:
1. Camera and enemies targeting
2. Scraping audio in several areas of the game, especially after the second boss of the main storyline has been eliminated
3. The character gets stuck between objects and even without physical obstacles in more than one boss battle he gets stuck without moving anymore.

Plus agree with "El Truco"
- Stuttering with an high end PC.
- A lot of times when doing executions on enemies, when close to a wall, the enemy will clip trough it, leaving the drop behind it or in mid air.
- Bad player collision when using the Intium Flash.
- Controls are not very responsive and the input registration is very slow.
- The world map does not centre on your location when accessed through the menu.

Just had an issue with the White Widow boss.

I clearly wasn't ready for it, so I hopped back the way I came over the river. As soon as I did I got an "Enemies Cleared" message and all the enemies in the area disappeared. Of course the boss never reappeared again which means I can't get the berry upgrade =(

[St0rmwielder]

- high framerates but occasional stutters that aren't smooth
- BSOD after using heavy attack (could also be driver related)
- camera issues, doesn't feel smooth.

The quest is "Golden Flash" which says to "Use your new ability to get to the arena gate and talk to Boji" problem is I didn't notice him at first after beating the boss so I had already Flashed out on my own and spoke to him, which gave a new quest "The Return" and then I went back into the arena of the boss and spoke to him there and that changed the quest to "Golden Flash" which now seems to have broken the quest as he doesn't show outside.

So what I assume the quest order was meant to be:
-New Powers
-Golden Flash
-The Return
But i've done the last two the wrong way round and now it's stuck.

UPDATE: Managed to find the next quest which forced moved it now at "The Intium Champion"

I am stuck have gotten to a point where I can’t continue trying to make my way into ever forest. I know where I must continue but branches will not appear to get up the ledge. Boji will appear and point up the ledge. But I can not get up it. Also have one shrine I cannot activate
