Outlast: Whistleblower Bug Report

[Captain-Weasly]

Well, spent 9 bucks for Whistleblower and got stuck because of 2 game-breaking bugs, load back old saves doesn't seem to work, but restarting the whole campaign seems to fix it :(

If you have encountered any bugs, please comment and hope the developers will look into it and ensure the experience stays awesome!

Noticeable bugs encountered by me so far:

Spoiler alert:



Bug #01: When pushing the obstacle after dropping down a vent, a patient blocks the way while pushing and cannot advance later into the game

Bug#02: In the pursuer w/ saw part, he clips through a hiding place into a locker and I cannot get out and kills me trough the locker

Bug #03: The game does not trigger NVIDIA 3D Vision anymore, no matter .ini setting.

I've encountered character models randomly disappearing between checkpoints - and was I SUPPOSED to get attacked by a ghost moments after escaping my cell on the first chapter? Because he wasn't there when I reloaded.

My impressions so far are that the game looks great but has more bugs than a motel mattress.

I didnt get attacked too but he leaves, it's more of a scare instead.

I am only 5 minutes or so in (just after experiment, going back for laptop) and it keeps freezing badly and stuttering like crazy whenever anything happens.
When it's calm it's ok, but once someone turns up, or something happens at all, it freezes.
Last time I had to close it with task manager. Got back to laptop, won't spoil what happens there, but it just froze completely and wouldn't continue. The guy talking carried on, but once he finished his dialogue all I could hear was my character panting.

I finished the DLC with no bugs at all.

[Saucy Spanky]

I can't even play the game, do I need to beat the base game again or what?

[Rampage™]

Was able to get past bug no. 1 just fine. In fact he just walked up to me and didn't block at all. Anyways...

Bug #04: I can open doors, but I can't close them. I can't even grab on to them if doors are open regardless if I've opened them myself or they were already open.

[Claudandus]

When you are at the prison, near the final section, you see two variants being hunted by the Wallrider. Well, all of them enter into a room and close the door. The thing is that door is supposed to be closed, but I've been able to open it twice, falling into the void when entering as a result.

When I tried a third time it worked fine, the door wouldn't open.


And I don't know if it just me, but I find it difficult to pick up some batteries. It doesn't happen with all of them, but I've have to click all around some batteries in order to pick them up.

Ive been getting the exact same problem with loading old saves, i get to play a 5 second snippet and then it freezes and crashes. It means I have to play the entire DLC in just one go otherwise ill never reach the end. I hope they fix it.

Anyone remember the hallway with the chainsaw guy? He disappeared on me and I couldnt find the key? what was that about? then the game crashed while i was searching for answers online, havent gone back to play it.

My girlfriend was having the exact same issue, and I think it's related to having a 32 bit operating system. Her base game of Outlast works, but the DLC stutters and crashes after about 5 mins. I think I found a solution to the issue on Steam's Outlast Whistleblower DLC page. The following is listed under the system requirements:
Additional Notes: * 32 bits systems are not officially supported, but should work if configured to provide 3Gb of user-mode address space. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb613473
or
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=175801311

Both of these sites explain what you can try to fix it, and I found the latter of the two to be more accessible. I have NOT tested this fix yet, but I'm pretty certain it will work, given that it's listed on the official steam site as a way to make the game work on 32 bit systems.

Playing through Whistleblower, get past Gluskin's cutscene, start the chase but right when I get to the doorway at the end of the hall the game crashes....

I am stuck on the first time you are outside. you see someone chasing another guy talking about "Being on another hunt" I walk up the stairs to the next building I assume I am supposed to head to and the game just freezes. always in the exact same place.

I want to see if there's anything at all to catch my interest in this mediocrity and the amount of times my PC has crashed to desktop or froze on this game is not making it any easier.

[Ghost-Mactavish]

I got a similar problem, at one point, where you jump through the window in the prison block to escape walrider my game saves, then shuts down. then when I try to load it, it fails during mid-load.

I don't know if anyone else is getting this but I'm having a weird bug with the texturing for outlast DLC, it was working fine until I downloaded the DLC as I downloaded the DLC and tried it out I was seeing outlines of the texture in the intro and every where I went as it was like it was missing its texture or something for that area but when I looked away from it a little bit it went away but when I looked at another part of it, it came back
