BUGS/GLITCHES (list here please)
list all bugs and glitches you find in the comments! i will add them to main post.

1) performance isn't that great. it also doesn't change much when you disable all settings and turn everything as low as possible. framerate seems to jump all over the place regardless, 40fps being the lowest 75fps being the highest. when i turn all settings as low as possible it still jumps but hits 40fps slightly less than maxed settings, not much difference at all.

2) fell through map multiple times. most recent was the theater map, wandering around before entering the theater.i think the other time was my first time being sent into the marrow after the first open world area.

3) turning the mouse/camera angle seems to dip the fps pretty badly sometimes

4) sometimes when you kill an enemy next to a mesh/prop/object you can't pickup their drop. i've lost lots of green gel this way, and other drops too

5) when you had to get the sniper parts... when i got to the work bench for the first time the part wasnt on it and it was clipping through the bench itself and could not interact with it. A save reload fixed the problem.

6) had a weird bug right after the bit where you sneak past the big camera eye . In the mirror room right after, large chunks of wall and floor started floating around and clipping through things. Had a few other instances where smaller items would clip in and out of the ground or walls but that was the weirdest one

7) Sometimes i notice severe object clipping, enemies and players can walk through walls/objects, animation changing from item use also clips objects through player.

8) What about SLI issue? Running two-way SLI performs worse than single GPU. I also noticed another glitch during O'Neal boss fight.

9) the ALTERNATE weapons you can switch to don't stick for long, they seem to randomly switch back to the default/original handgun and shotgun. just had it happen, not sure if it was a cut-scene or it's just random, but it would be nice if it stuck to the alternate weapon you set it on til you change it again.

10) When I use the mirror to teleport to Sebastian's room, there is no way out. The mirror in there isn't lit up. When I use the mirror to teleport to the hallway that leads to the upgrade station/workbench/shooting range, there is no way out. There's no mirror at all, and that area doesn't even connect to Sebastian's room. Currently on Chapter 5, still having same problem. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, didn't work.


11) I actually took a screenshot of when I shot an enemy dead then all it's textures blurred.

12) I don't know if anyone else has experienced the same but the fall update for windows (version 1709) decreased my performance a little. I was getting solid 30fps (GTX 970 & 8320e) and now the games appears to have a harder time mantaining a estable performance (prolly is a virus, or a crappy windows update thing, but worth note, just in case)

13) collision detection needs to be fixed. many times weird things happened, zombies going thru objects or even each other since the animation needed to be finished.

14) AI on the ground and sitting upright that are pretending to be dead dont get up sometimes, they lay there til i kill them or at least shank with my knife. after a quiclk shank and run they stand and chase, or get beat back down....depends on how im feeling.

15) AI could also be a bit more intelligent. only have to run into a bush, and move one bush down and they lost track of me. the distance they follow is also really short at times (they wont even look then, its like they are returning back to their original loop of walking around)

16) random crash - out exploring the first open area of the game, just traveling around, near the "girls voice" area for the first time on the "new game plus" playthru. i was just walking and the screen went black, game minimized, then came right back up with "this program has stopped working" error.

17) ammo pouch pickups return on new game plus, even if you have max ammo capacity already. and you can't pick them up if you have max capacity, meaning some things cant be triggered like the train on the first open area, then a tripwire, then a camera.
instead it should be ammo pickups or other loot of sorts.

18) ive noticed enemies on top of buildings and other tall objects that are trying to fall off the edge, perhaps to get the drop on a brother, but they are clipped and unable to fall most of the time. sometimes they fall, others they dont.

19) the game does not use the full capabilities of ones graphics card, no matter how powerful it is.

I've noticed a bit of more stuttering than before. But, it's not bad enough to make me stop playing.

As for number two, I haven't experienced that.

i agree it's a great game i intend to play many times. you're probably having the frame jumping issue i am having.

It's kind of confusing me, though.

During my first playthrough I barely had any framedrops. And now, all of a sudden it's happening.

the only real problem i've run into was when you had to get the sniper parts... when i got to the work bench for the first time the part wasnt on it and it was clipping through the bench itself and could not interact with it. A save reload fixed the problem.

maybe the first playthrough you noticed less because this is an amazing game and the excitement is overwhelming? lol

It's not a bug, you triggered the sequence of where the ghost lady spawns.

Was the environment blue with mist ?

If so, that's why. You can't interact with any workbench while the ghost lady is present.

Oh, well. That is odd.

The first time I went through the workbench is when the ghost lady spawned.
