Bugs... So Far
1. (Already Known) Black Screen on Launch (had it the first time)

2. Sometimes, usually after a cutscene, the game gets into a strange state where you can access main menu functions but your character will not move or interact. I've had this happen in a few places. Only fix is to load a save.

3. In the first mission for the Park County Police, when I was in the kitchen, and combat began with the NPC, the original NPC was still in the background with his back turned while the combat version was in the fight. After a few seconds the game locked up.

4. The longer I play the more sluggish the game gets with it freezing for 20-30 seconds (on a decently fast machine). When it's in this state, it takes nearly a minute for the game to shut down from the 'quit game' option. Probably a resource leak.

5. Sometimes turns in battle 'stall' and you need to ALT+TAB in and out of the game or otherwise give the game's engine a kick in the rear to get things going again.

6. Many instances where NPCs will fail to perform the full string of scripted interactions with the environment, causing the player to get locked out of progress, or placing the environment into an unexpected state which might cause problems later in the game.

7. The "To Catch a ♥♥♥♥" quest is bugged. It's possible to have the quest become stuck if you take a selfie before the game has prompted to you to do so.

8. The game can deny further progress at the Police Station in Ch 3, due to a save glitch messing up in-costume / out-of-costume state:

9. If you beat Professor Chaos, save after the cutscenes, and load, you will wear casual clothes until the end of day 3. This can cause many more bugs, such as Call Girl's quest being impossible, or story not progressing on night 3 (read 8)

10. selfies are impossible because the menu doesn't pop up
11. If you enter and exit menus under some circumstances (still haven't pinpointed it exactly; could be moving in and out of the menu too fast, exiting a menu and immediately entering another screen/area, etc.) the music will occasionally stay muffled. Have to open and reclose a menu to fix it. This can happen when entering combat as well at which point you can only fix it by either finishing the combat, or entering inspection mode and exiting it again (since inspection mode also muffles music).

12. Cutscenes occasionally cause lag, as does removing/donning costume (the QTE). For me, it was pretty much only the backstory cutscenes, and occasionally a summon or attack that causes the camera to zoom in. The lag will persist for a few seconds (even when you regain control) as if the scene is buffering, then smooth out. I also had some odd lag when I was carrying a certain object into a certain DNA collector.

13. Very rarely an NPC will not have voiceover while talking. Thankfully I had subtitles active, but it has happened to me on two occasions at the Lab (not going to say who was talking, to avoid spoilers).

14. Mouse control for all menus, including inspection mode, has a pretty decent delay to transfer from arrow controls and is generally pretty badly handled, like in the costume menu trying to scroll up and down. It can be worked around by moving the mouse pretty fast at the same time as entering inspection mode (not really necessary/a problem in menus because those pause the game) but it's still awkward.

15. More of a design flaw but in combat if the playfield is wider than normal there's no way to scroll it to see where the enemies are.

16. You can get stuck inside one of the late game bosses and be unable to move or attack.

17. Can't seem to get past Shady Acres cause it freezes on the combat loading screen. :steamfacepalm:

18. The cutscene during "The Hundred Hands of Chaos" when the ♥♥♥♥ arrives has one of the ♥♥♥♥'s lines spoken by Fastpass instead. (Fastpass's mouth moves, ♥♥♥♥'s voice).

19. Full crash during "The Hundred Hands of Chaos" after entering the storage area for Captain Hindsight.

20. "Scavenger Hunt: Big Gay Al's Big Gay Cats" does not register the SoDaSoPa kitty. I *think* it may have to do with the order, I'm not sure.

21. Sound cuts out for a few milliseconds briefly at random.

22. 64 bit executable but runs in a single thread. (Only uses one core.)

23. Definately has a memory leak, after 3 hours of play, it's over 2GB RAM (when started it was at about a third of that.)

24: POTENTIAL GAME BREAKING BUG ON JARED FIGHT
Unable to take turn after Aides heal Jared, fight options do not appear, cant select T.

Tried restart, new save, different characters...... 21 hours in and cant proceed!!!!!!!!

RESOLVED BY: Moving all characters away from the cell with Cancel turn, Timefart Glitch before they heal Jared.

This game is making me nervous now, will I be able to complete it?

25. You can get stuck in front of Token's house when on the mission "freedom calling" This has something to do with goofing around inbetween this and the previous story mission.

26. It's apparantly possible to break returning the book to the Goth kids if after placing the book, but while still lighting candles, you leave the room and return:

(How long until we break 30, guys?)

27. This may be related to #2 but just in case it's not I'm listing it as a new issue. Now and then when you load a save it's in that state where you can't move, if you click attack it lets you move normally again.

28. Some of the minigame default keymaps are not very well thought out, involving holding 2 keys and rapidly pressing 3 more. Fortunately they don't matter much in terms of finishing any quests. (Mostly the toilet minigames.)

29. The few combat encounters that have a real time element are frustrating waiting for animations to complete. At the very least, the timer should freeze when it's just doing cosmetic effects.

30. The mouse sometimes gets in a strange state on menus when you're trying to select one option and it keeps moving the mouse pointer up to another.

31. The bank money wheel mini-game has it's own mouse that is not in sync with the game's mouse pointer. This is probably a console->PC oversight. It would be best to just remove one of them.

32. Sometimes old dialogue will play in the ♥♥♥♥ & Friends Lair when you annoy them by using the cube.

33. In the police department upstairs infront of the cells fight, i did a time fart glitch in combat only to get stuck farting, forever.
