Square PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES - BUG REPORTS WELCOME

[JakeDeeJake]

I posted my review saying I couldn't recommend because of all the issues and I wanted to gather all the issues I think need to be addressed ASAP here. Feel free to also post any here.

Below is the review which contains the issues I noticed that NEED fixing:

STEAM DECK ISSUES:

- Audio crackles on my non OLED Steam Deck whenever a BGM is playing. Its distracting and awful to listen to.
- The screen squashes when using the native 16:10 800p resolution, making the feature of supporting the resolution useless.
- The game can randomly nosedive in framerate for a couple seconds. In particular when booting from rest mode.

NEW ISSUES:

- Some of the AI upscaled textures look awful and lack any polish. Any time a texture contains any type of shading thats supposed to create depth or a shadow its completely flattened; All dithered patterns that are supposed to create a gradient are over sharpened and create a grainy pattern instead.
- Some models now load the incorrect textures.

LEGACY ISSUES

- Instability. The game does not handle alt tabbing or framerates higher than 60 well. The games can crash easily losing to hours of progress potentially being lost or corrupted saves.
- Memory leaks. The games leak memory and will continue to do so until they either crash or (hopefully) release all the unused things stored. You can check by looking in memory usage and watch as it grows and grows as you play.
- The game effectively doesn’t function on RDNA3 GPUs
- The fullscreen mode is pointless as the second you alt tab it switches back to windowed mode. It also doesn’t let you chose the refresh rate of
The display just the resolution. The refresh rate option just acts as a vsync instead of actually matching the display’s refresh to the game’s framerate.
- You can’t select your refresh rate on full screen mode.
- Many sound effects are broken and lack reverb like Xigbar's guns.
- The game's frametime delivery system is just broken. If you try to use gsync the game is a suttery mess. If you disable it the game can still stutter on loads.
- The higher framerate options above 60 are worthless not just because of increased instability, but because some objects when rendered on screen force the game back down to 60 anyway.

'These are the main issues but there are others like COM lacking its alt control options or it still lacking basic additions like dual audio or cutscenes above 30 fps, but those I can stand recommending without. The main issues I listed NEED to be addressed. Most of them have needed to be for THREE YEARS on EGS. Please dont leave the games I love in this state"

OTHER ISSUE REPORTS

Dastanovich eredeti hozzászólása:

Adding more to the table:

- Stuttering issues are still present, meaning you're still forced to tinker both in-game settings and your control panel
(it's so inconsistent, cuz some say you need to turn off or on the refresh rate)
- Other FPS option are worthless, most stable is 60fps
(and 30, cuz some stuff is bugged on 60)
- You still can't mute voice channels. A 0 option is just absent like EGS
(either add a 0 option, or make 1 mute audio)
- No ultrawide or other monitor support, so it's still black bars
(not even asking for every single monitor in the world, but really, no 16:10?)
- The cutscene framelimiter is still there, so that jittery 30fps is present
(just make it 60)

Stuff I WANT to get added:

-KH1-
open chests in-battle
abilities toggled on Y/Triangle, like KH2

-KH2-
option to 'Prepare and Retry' after dying
unpause Atlantica
add Encounter Plus/Boost

-KH BBS-
remove the cutscene framelimiter when talking to NPCs
add back the ability to rename finishers
add Combo Master/Boost (you have 0 idea how hard this'll fix the game's combat)

BONUS: Re-Fined fixed almost all the issues present above so if fans can do it, I'm SURE Square's port team can

KH2 Specific Issues

• Port Royal Map Crash is still a thing (when selecting a zone to move to in the Black Pearl's map, there's a chance it can crash.
  
• Some quotes still lack, there's a good video explaining this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaMcGIJiWVM

ReCoM control issues, please add this because this change is legit terrible:

Left dpad is now to jump to the reload card of your deck and right dpad jumps to your shortcut. On EVERY OTHER VERSION of ReCoM it is up and down dpad. If you calibrate your controller for the DPad change (to be up and down), all your in game pause UI menus are scrolled through by left and right.

This is literally the worst version of ReCoM ever, I have no idea why they altered controls AND removed the option to allow us to switch the shoulder buttons. Even the PS2 version functions better than the PC version.

I've also had the following issues:
- Texture bugs: In one cutscene I had a bug where Goofy suddenly turned invisible except for his zippers, and Donald turned beige.
- Voicelines not playing: In another cutscene Riku's voicelines were just not playing at all
And ofc there's the crashes which u've already mentioned.
I'm really disappointed by the lack of polish for this port. Kingdom Hearts is a legendary series and deserves better than this.

Everybody do the flop eredeti hozzászólása:

XBox One controller issues:

Menus:
A = X
B = A
X = B

In game:
A = B
B = A
View = Right stick left/right (can't remember which one)
Right stick button = Start

Additional issues:
Right stick up and left won't register when you try to change inputs manually in-game.

ThreeSon eredeti hozzászólása:

Please add the shadow flickering issue under Steam Deck. I'm worried Square won't notice it, and the issue has been reported by multiple people so it's very much a confirmed bug:

Fishonastick eredeti hozzászólása:

Reported in another post too, but I experienced the same menu glitch with KH2 on critical mode and it doesn’t go away. Rebooting the game only fixes it for 10 minutes and sometimes the game crashes. Playing in windowed mode btw.

LAA eredeti hozzászólása:

Thanks for making a post collating all the known issues.

I would also add for KH2, I have had corrupted sounding audio happen occasionally during battles, as well as the audio volume becoming low suddenly in battle for a brief moment, seemingly because too much SFX happens at once?

Also more minor, but noticed these issues in KH1.
- Giant Ursula boss eye tracking doesn't seem to work so well (This is at 60fps), both of her eyes don't fully track the player so she appears cross eyed regularly through the fight.
- In the beginning area of "End of the World", as you get further away from the rock where you start at, a bunch of blue polygons appear around the rock

Really hope SE take fixing these issues more seriously now, these could and should be the definitive versions of these games.

I literally have zero problems running the game unlocked fps on my 165hz oled. Alt tabbing doesn't crash for me either. No stuttering, nothing.

ah yes, the best KH modders in the world must totally be lying about these issues with well documented causes on the OpenKH discord..

achievements are completely bugged, havent unlocked a single one thus far

Ah yes another bog standard "It works fine for me, it must be your end issue" comment as if that invalidates legitimate issues countless other people have. Seriously?

Hopefully they get on it

SE's pinned in discussions only mentions 2 graphic cards having issues when LITERALLY the replies are filled with people from all corners with different cards all saying it either runs like ass or constantly crashes. including me

could be all kinds of things though.. you could have global c-states or whatever intel's version is. turned on in your bios and that can cause issues

Can't we just post these issues to their social media accounts or something

Hiroki Etsuko eredeti hozzászólása:

When playing with a headset, during fights the sound simply goes VERY low for 1-2 seconds and then goes back to normal and can occur frequently.
With speakers sound seems okay.

I think it happens when there's multiple sound effects occurring at once.

That sounds like this, is it?
https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/win10-lowers-volume-automatically.html

(First step.)
If that works, Windows is mistakenly picking up something as a call, perhaps the game mistakenly indicating something as one.

[CptCookiediet]

Good list, but SE doesn't do costumer care. This port will be just another one in the list of horribly broken. I am still waiting for fixes for broken FF ports I've had in my steam library for like 5 years. Also, reading through people's thoughts on things, apparently a ton of issues were already present 3 years ago. If they haven't fixed them in that time, they never will. It's just a lazy port for easy money when ppl buy it anyway. Sadly we're all enabling SE to be a crap company.

Maybe, instead of addressing SE, we should shift our focus on Disney, maybe they feel this affects them poorly aswell and pressures SE to actually fix the port. Would work better, can't do KH4 without Disney's consent after all.

When people speak in verbiage that indicates a problem FOR EVERYONE, then yeah, I'm going to refute it with my experience of not having issues.

Steam should force PC specs to visible in your profile. 9/10 times it's because people are running garbage tier hardware.

yeah man, sure, all of those people that can play more modern releases without any issues but have problems playing the KH ports just have computers too weak to handle upscaled PS2 games.
couldn't be that SE didn't account for a wide enough range of devices, it has to be everyone else's fault.

doubt enix will even look at steam pages, the fps stuttering with gsync is really bad seems to be the gpu is in an extremely low power mode while playing the game, set to maximum performance and seems a lot better not 100% but seems more playable at least.

VRR in general if we follow this logic but yes i confirm i have made the 30 fps really smooth (the only truely stable framerate )

But thing is sure v synch is not the problem in game or either on nvidia control panel.

For the refresh rate it's the same 60 hz or even 120 hz is good the moment you let the applicaiton choose his own (mean not forcing to use your actual 120 hz monitor on windows in particular in bordeless mode)

I have just tested it while i was continue my playthrough and yes i confirm.

Just to not forget to cap your fps ALSO in background on nvidia control panel when you add the exe of the game not only in general (it's when you lose focus or even alt+tab will be to bad to see the game at 30 fps rocvk solid going in the +500 while you are on the browser

Ah yes a bit the same but when you are in bordeless others apps can be interact with so maybe put performance mode for these

By ex browser for backplay music if the app is in Normal mode and not performance but your game in bordeless is in full i won't be suirprise if the gpu goes from full force to idle one... witch could explain

nvidia control panel test -
Tried every setting to man the ONLY thing that made a huge difference was turning VSYNC off , setting max fps limit to 120 fps and enabling max performance mode, game ran smooth as butter at 165 fps without any drops BUT screen tearing and no gsync was the downside. ( not sure why it was running at 165 fps cap with vsync off also off in game and frame limit in game off) ... shrug lol also fps limit doesn't work due to no vsync?

Yep, alt tabbing removes the full screen, sets it to windowed, also set graphics options back to default (sometimes). Maybe an exclusive fullscreen mode would fix this, who knows, reading other posts the big fps drops seem to be coming from the upscaled textures and added shadow effects and so on, doubt there will be a fix as it has been in this dire form for 3 years on EGS, I will test out the other games tomorrow, but if they are all using this same launcher then I have doubts.
