I just posted a much less clean version of this list. Mind if I copy and paste it just to be sure most bases are covered?

Awesome. Here it is. A lot is just echoing what you've already got but nonetheless.

quote
"Low frame rate for some areas. Clipping through elevators in Torment therapy. Lots and lots of weird collision with small doorways leading to undeserved death. The enemy ai is whack at the moment, I've noticed that our friends the murder monkeys don't feel like moving. Agatha enjoys colliding with objects and not moving leading to a very easy win. Certain chapters have been rendered uncompletable according to some due to other errors I've yet to witness myself. Primarily deadly decadence though again I haven't looked for this. Game over? enjoy a frozen screen that forces you to reload the game! Luckily checkpoints still work so that's nice. More specific stuff also includes ambulances not spawning during the matron fight which is bad because now the fight is currently unbeatable since that's the whole gimmick of the fight! along with that the hit detection for the giant needles during that fight is finicky and sometimes nurses just don't get hit.

Apparently bearly buried is unbeatable because the AIs gimmick which is supposed to be they sleep till they hear something, is bugged so they just wake up and kill the player and halt progression. There are many many points where the game just crashes. Haven't dealt with that yet but supposedly many have the game crash during cut scenes, scripted moments like after collecting all of the shards. Some poor guys have even reported the game crashing during the startup menu. meaning some players can't even get to the game!

I've seen some people fall out of the world with no way of dying to reload checkpoint, forcing them to restart the level losing so much time and progress. and lots of other really nasty bugs. Which is weird because as others have mentioned, the promotional version that many youtubers got worked fine, many of the bugs I witnessed didn't seem to happen to them soooo... what the hell? I don't understand how youtubers got a working version but not everyone else."

end quote.

the monkey crash should be the one where you break the boards right? That bugs been there for years, i can't believe they still haven't fixed that one

Dont forget the loud metal sound after the first ambulence ride, it constantly plays and is really loud.
AmiyaMoon Sep 28, 2021 @ 7:52pm 
that's a bug if I believe so where the ballroom I think it's just fog in the background or missing textures or something it shouldn't look like that

Game crashes when defeating Joykill. (May be loss of achievement). Also when rebooting, all soul shards in the zone spawn again (though Ring Altar still gives Ring Piece)
AlbinoMaster Sep 28, 2021 @ 8:36pm 
in the matron boss fight when about in 4 or 5th hit it crashes and also the teleporter ability moves by itself
