Have an issue? Read this first!
Firstly, make sure your issue isn't already addressed right here: https://camposanto.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

Secondly, if it is, it means we'll be including it in a patch. These have typically been going out in the evenings.

We are actively pulling bugs out of the forums and fixing them and pushing updates! So please give us as much info as possible about your issue and try to drop them in the correct support forum (it really helps, we're less than ten people over here!) Things we need are:

  • Your system specs.
  • Any controllers your using or have plugged in
  • What you were trying to do when the issue occurred.
  • Screenshots/save games are great

Game worked fine before patch.
Now when loading saved game, character appears below the map and I can see the underside of the map disappear into the distance as my character falls into the void of nothingness.

The problem is that I can't download the game at all. When I try to, Steam tells me that Firewatch's size is 18 mb. When I finish download there's only one folder "_commonredist" and that's all. Tried to reload steam, downloaded and unistalled game a few times, but nothing.

Here's a screenshot:

I'm using Windows 7, 4GB, ATI Radeon HD5470 1GB
I can only imagine this situation if your Windows is the 32bits version.

It seems the game only supports 64bit operating systems.
oh man, thank you very much, this probably the only explantation for my problem. Next time will read system recommendations more thoughtfully!

I'm having issues getting past the intro, last thing I can do is exit the elevator and get into the truck, after that it freezes.
Impossible to exit the screen, Esc only stops music, I constantly have to (hard) reset, not what I want.

I used all kinds of different settings (High, medium, and lower screen resolution, but I'm not sure how to proceed).

Help would be appreciated!

I 'm ok with lower settings, just would like to play the game

I started my playthrough the second the game officially launched, and finished the game in one session. I didn't get any achievements. After finishing, the game was auto-patched.

As a test, I reloaded the last auto save right before the end and finished the game a second time, I got the final achievement. The first 4 are still locked.
Got no achievements as well... Did same and got the last one. May be those who already have the last can recieve other.

I know what's supposed to happen here but it's not doing anything and because of the save system I can't go back any further than an autosave which triggered after the bug.

Kind of annoying...

What's weird is that I can still change the keys by clicking in random spots on the screen, but then I don't know the correspondances !

I didn't found it on this page already so I post it !

Thanks for anybody's help !

I have a very weird issue, I want to play the game on my TV, but the resolution keeps switching back to 720p from 1080p (I can apply 1080p, but when I exit the graphics options and then go back it is always set to 720p), this does not happen on my regular monitor. Both screens are definitely capable of 1080p. It also doesn't happen on the TV if I disable full screen.

it doesn't matter if a controller is connected or not

Sucks, doesn't it? So close to the end.

I really don't want to watch the end of the game on YouTube.

Have tossen 2-orcs map over radio charger on the end of day one. On start of day 2 i am cannot even to enter menu. Because the only possible action is to take a radio, and its blocked.

Another one - its possible to sneak into the SE zone (in SE corner of map) in at least second day, yea - its a trap too. You cannot get out of the zone, there is no hatchet, and there is no fire border work. And hey, 6 hour of gameplay and this with 2 hours of desperate trying to find way out of blocked SE zone and 2 restarts ? Dudes thats way to bad, well not bad , to small.

When I use my external display Dell U2715H, the game launch with black screen with sound. If I use the built-in screen instead, the game seems to work fine.

I got the same bug, then force quit the game. This are my machine specs:

Update:

After the patch I can't play anymore, the game keeps crashing.

I have two bugs to report.

The first is a rope graphical glitch at a shale slide. I rappelled down, saved, and quit. When I next started the game, the rope did not appear to be there. However, I still had the option to climb. When I did so, two ropes appeared. The anchor point of the second one was off a little to the side of the true anchor point. When I reached the top, the second rope disappeared. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot and I don't remember which slide it was.

The second is that the text on Observation Report: Subject: Henry doesn't match what's shown on the clipboard, in the Observational Traits section. Here are screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/bWSqh

I have a controller but I am not using it for this game. It's a DualShock 3 controller but appears as an Xbox controller to the system via third-party drivers.

The game crashes, when at first time going up the firewatch-lookout. In the middle on the stairs the screen freezes, but the walking noises are going on. Don't know what do do...
