Annoying bug in Episode 5

[Marmalade]

In the Two Whales diner while talking with Warren, some of the animations for Max's mouth are not there, or not playing.

Yup, this is since the release of the episode. But she talks with Warren G so no biggie...

I've also noticed some audio issues with the voice acting too, during the cutscenes in a few episodes as well.

Lots of bugs and un-polished stuffs. They should patch this game each month until is PERFECT. Can easy ignore them and enjoy the story but for most of the gamers is not easy to do that and we want this masterpiece to be actually deserve this tittle technically to.

I definitely enjoyed the story. Just some of the bugs ruin the immersion and it's like "why did this happen! Agh!" Haha

To be honest the bug with Max mouth not moving in the diner scene in episode 5 was the only bug i had the whole game. And it was like 2 minutes so, still ok for me.

This issue is with PS4, XBOXONE and PC versions (not sure about xbox 360 or PS3). I came up with a fix for the PC version. It requires having the LIS files from the October 2015 release when episode 5 came out. You need to replace the lipsync files from EP5 January 2016 version with the EP5 October 2015 version and the problem is solved. Here's the instructions:

Go to (your drive letter):\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Life Is Strange\LifeIsStrangeGame\Build\PCConsole\DLC\Episode05\LifeIsStrangeGame\AltData

Backup the *.lipsync files to another folder.

Copy all the *.lipsync files from the folder you have that contains the October 2015 version to overwrite the current lipsync files with the October 2015 Episode 5 lipsync files.

Start the game - play episode five and now the scene at the diner with Max, Joyce and Warren works correctly.

Hopefully this link works - I set up a dropbox with the instructions and zip file containing the Oct 2015 EP5 lipsync files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yfrhwpmov5wff4o/AADcOkMHnu91BnXPRYI20MAka?dl=0

Thank you marioncut^ that's good to know, but this should be done by SE or DONTNOD, they should do the hotfix/patches. I can't believe that no one work on this anymore?

I would rather they just keep working on LiS 2 instead though.

Thank you for this!
