Many♥♥♥♥♥♥♥cats fight glitch

[jAKE]

Im stuck on this fight because after the cats do their turns and it gets to New Kid's turn, the game soft locks and does not let me do anything. no time farts, moving, attack, nothing. I dont know if its something with my team (Mysterion, Captain Diabetes, Human Kite) but i literally cannot progress.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I'm going to try this right now. Also currently stuck on the cat fight.

I had the same problem throughout the Mephesto Lab fights, it won't stop until you reach the last fight. I found bringing up steam overlay helped. Perhaps disabling steam overlay in game would stop the problem entirely.

Alt-Tabbing definitely works, but I will also try your suggestion of disabling the overlay and report back.

I froze on the Morgan Freeman fight, however I can see it being an overlay problem as I have nvidia, steam, and uplay overlays all running so it can get a little taxing sometimes.

Issue with alt-tabbing is in the mutant sixth grader fight theres a realtime mechanic regarding the floor tiles, so you really want to be able to switch back to the game immediately to move your characters. I quit playing for a bit during that fight because the pausing got so infuriating.

OK, so disabling the steam overlay does work, but only if there are no open tabs in the background. I tried the same fight with only the game and the steam library window open, and had soft locks. I tried the same fight again with just the game open, and closed out the steam library (Nothing to tab to) and then had no locks.

So far, that seems to be it. If you have stuff to tab to, then the game will soft lock?

If anyone else runs into anything contrary to this, let us know, I guess.

For the record, I do love this game and the previous one. Just trying to enjoy it without running into roadblocks as best as I can. Good luck.

I played the game with close to 12 things to tab to at any given time and only froze on the MF fight.

Yeah, it seems to not follow any set rules. Right after posting that, it started freezing again. I can't even alt-tab to fix it anymore.

Guess I'll just wait for the patch.

It's well-known that this game has a whole series of weird, unpredictable problems that appear related to what video card you're using. Anything that kicks your video card or swaps window order can goose the game into working for no clear reason.

Glad I found this. At first I thought my computer itself was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. The turns were super delayed at first, it would take like 10 seconds but eventually the turn proceeded as normal. Then like 4 more turns in, it just completely sat still. Alt tabbing definitely worked, but it seemed to make the game buggier everytime. The first alt tab took like 10 seconds to load actually load the game on screen, and it seemed like a longer wait every further tab. This definitely needs to be patched. You shouldn't have to google answers on how to make a game from a major company work.

Thanks mate, that solves it

Rather than alt+tabbing you can also run the game in windowed mode, no need to leave the game then and no soft lock.

I encounter the exact same problem at that Laboratory. Either Alt + Tab or Shift + Tab seems to fix the issue.
