Milkman Nightmare Boss Camera Bug
I have had this issue for a while and I've done a couple hours worth of searching for an answer or solution to this bug. When I get to the nightmare boss on the milkman stage, this camera bug occurs. camera bug screenshot If you have any information, or a link to any fixes, please update me because I want to finish this game very badly. Thank you.

What a weird bug.
By the way, on games like these, bugs like these, usually occure when the game is programmed to calculate everything in a specific FPS count.
What I mean, is that you may have your FPS too high for the game, and that could lead to a misplaced loading due to the too much speed.
Just a theory eh.

I juggest you to try lowering down the performance on this game trought your graphical card control panel (NVIDIA or AMD).
If you don't seem to have FPS too high, tell me more informations about the bug.

Thanks!

I checked my AMD panel, and I don't seem to have anything out of the ordinary/anything regarding frames. I checked the ingame graphic options tab to see if there was anything there, no luck. I tried a couple different resolutions to see if that made any difference, but I had no luck. I uploaded a video here showcasing the bug and the events leading to the bug. I have restarted, uninstalled the game entirely I believe, reinstalled it, I still encounter the bug. Thank you.

It's definitely a really weird bug. Never seen anything like this.
Try to go in the game's directory and look up for the original executable.

Steam > Library > Psychonauts > Right Click > Local Files

Once you find it, Right Click on it and click on Propieties.
Check if there is some kind of compatibility option enabled, and if there is one, disable it.
If there is none, enable it.

That's a bit out of context, but it's the only thing I can come out with.

It was originally not in any compatibility mode, so I turned it on and checked the manual pdf file and ran it in the two tecommended to work, when that didn't work I tried a couple more possible systems, but nothing so far.

i got to this topic through googling cause I had the same problem. this bug can be replicated in xbox as well. thats what ive figured out:

if you get game over after facing the boss, you go to the beginning of the stage. IF YOU TELEPORT instantly to the post office, you will get this bug until another game over or if you load game again. you need to go to the boss walking through the stage, not teleporting.
