[Bugs?] SOFT LOCKS Movement, Selection Inconsistent

[GenoAmi]

Noticing I have to select something multiple times. Sometimes it registers the input, but after walking to it there’s no follow through. Sometimes I’ll be at the item, but not the “correct” place to look at it. Sometimes it’ll straight up register the input, but do nothing (sometimes giving me red “can’t” signals even if I’m in the right place!).

The movement also seems to lag a little at times, particularly after ending a concersation or investigating an item.

Of particular note is the stairs at the strike location. It’s now very easy to get stuck with Kim and end up walking up the bottom third while I would normally be going down.

Edit 1: also the targeting is a bit frustrating at times, especially when they’re close together as the bottles next to the old man what’s his face’s watch on the union docks.

Edit 2: I cannot seem to progress in The Pig's conversation. I cannot access the menu or do anything but use healing items (nosaphed, magnesium) as the conversation stalls entirely. There's nothing else I can do but alt+tab out and try again, only for it to repeat once I approach her, and the sirens keep blaring on repeat.

Edit 3: The above soft lock is solved by clicking on The Pigs instead of trying to approach them.

Encounteted another soft lock when the speakers at the church play. Same solution: windowed mode, all graphics turned to their lowest settings. Never walk into a flag, click on the source of it to fet there.

After the first speaker-related soft lock, I also noticed that The Cop couldn’t move until the camera zoomed and panned back to a specific point after every conversation. Made doing the Egghead thing again very tiresome.

Using a DS4 with DS4Windows, so it reads as an Xbox controller (360?). Game controller config set to Gamepad default.

Get the same on the GoG version with Xbox Series X controller. Multiple presses are often required to get my char to actually address the object that's highlighted.

Bumping, problem is still persisting. There was another patch downloaded late last night, so I'll see if the problem still persists in the latest version.

Thought this was just me. Most actions take two presses, which is super annoying.

It is indeed! Also, found that Easy Leo’s first spoken line never triggers- only the text.

The last update seemed to make things a little better, not as many double pressing was required. Still annoying to play.

New glitch found, and it's a progress-ender if I want to continue one of the quests. I cannot seem to progress in The Pig's conversation. I cannot access the menu or do anything but use healing items (nosaphed, magnesium) as the conversation stalls entirely. There's nothing else I can do but alt+tab out and try again, only for it to repeat once I approach her, and the sirens keep blaring on repeat.

Got the same problem you describe above, game is soft locked and cannot progress conversation.

Same here. Dialogue answers not there when The Pigs starts talking to me. Only escape is to exit the game. Also awareness ring around the head is always visible. Hope there will be a solution soon.

Edit: Use simple shader and window mode when talking to The Pigs. It worked!!!!!

I only have a “moderate” and “brilliant” shader quality. This fix didn’t work for me, so let’s see about turning all those settings down.

Negative. It doesn’t work. I turned down all settings to minimum. Maybe my specific resolution? Attempting now.

Negative.

Tried changing out of T-500 gear.

Negative.

Gonna try it entirely unequipped.

Negative.

Also noticing that The Cop doesn’t always follow Kim to the location where things are happening. Perhaps that has something to do with it?

Zoom out (mouse wheel down) and click on them before you get too close.

That did it! Clicking on her beforehand solved the whole dang thing. I can’t wait to go back to fullscreen, a lot of this text is for ants (and my new glasses prescription is still about a week away from being done).
