Known bugs

[Allexan]

So, let's list all known issues and discovered workarounds and try to trace the source of them.
Also, there's patch already announced.

• No exit button - various ways - devs forgot, promised to fix in the patch - patched
  
• Crashes - increase your virtual memory in system settings - memory leak, presumably fixed, except not really
  
• Audio stutter - sometimes changing settings to "surround" helps - ?
  
• FPS drops - memory leak, see previous
  
• Aska Initialization Failed - memory leak, see previous
  
• Crash after fitrs cutscene on Win7 - some reporrt installing KB2533623 hotfix helps. Also try to increase your virtual memory in system settings
  
• Cannot enable DLC textures - click on "Start" on DLC page->game will start->exit game->library entry will get DLC list->tick the DLC and wait for download->play game - steam doesn't handle free DLCs well
  
• "When I try to put the HD texture in the option and load my save, my character is stuck in a T-Pose and the game crash when I change the character." by Simon Crazy Cat
  Or game is stuck at loading screen
  - possibly memory leak too
  
• Visual glitches - nothing - that's rendering mistakes kept from original game, they won't bother with it
  
• Game starts to lag after changing equipment on Zephyr, until you delete the savefile with this change - garbled settings management, I guess
  
• Your save is gone - cloud servers are ♥♥♥♥ed up by external force, nothing can be done on your end - you can prevent this by backing up your savefile on your hd elsewhere and disabling cloud before launching the game
  
• Sometimes during a running attack, after switching targets, the slow-motion effect persists until the next time you confirm an attack or the run ends.

So, the patch is out. Any feedback?

[it's a gabe]

Oh. Funny. I just opened the game hoping that the performance would've been fixed, but nope. Then I hit start and muscle memory (from other games) directed me to "quit game," which closed it entirely. Only when I came back to this thread did I notice they added that option!

I think that's all this patch did, really. If anything, the game is running worse for me here.

Wow all this time just for a exit option..

I don't get audio stutter, but I do get audio slowdown that sounds similar to when you slow down a Youtube video to half speed. It sounds horrific. And if I transition to another area while that's going on the load time can take upwards of three minutes on my ssd. Haven't found a fix yet.

-Edit: Oh, I guess that is what people are talking about when they say "audio stutter".

Yes. That bug done something with CPU, because in that moments my CPU starts having spikes in usage of all cores and task manager is lagging at that moment.

• Engine does not recognize pagefile settings outside of default on Windows 7/10. Either the game or the pagefile (or possibly both) must be on the Windows installation drive and the pagefile must be system managed.

I've been using custom page file sizes (16000 mb) since starting to play this game. After 40+ hours, I've yet to see any Aska initialization error. Windows 10.

So @OP, scrap this one from the list. Its not an existing issue.
The game does recognize custom pagefile settings on windows 10.

I dont know what Aska Initialization failure is related to, but its most certainly not this.

My main save was gone this morning when I went to load it. The save slot was just empty. An older save was still there below it but I don't want to lose 3 hours of progress. Has anyone else encountered this?

[Allexan]

Seems like Steam Cloud ♥♥♥♥-up. Haven't started the game myself, so don't know.

[Allexan]

Just to be clear: finally launched the game, without HD pack (poor eyesight, cannot spot difference) and with 48 Gb pagefyle (need this for work) on system SSD, while the game is on secondary HDD. Works just fine.
Oh, and I disabled Steam Cloud - apparently servers are currently ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and delete your synchronized savefiles.

[Tiasmoon]

If steam cloud isnt working properly its usually due to an issue uploading the files. If you close the client during synchronization or your connection fails during it, it will cause this to happen.

Shouldnt be an issue if you play the game on the computer where you have the original save files. Just dont press to 'use cloud files' if steam tells you to its not up to date when starting the game.

Sometimes during a running attack, after switching targets, the slow-motion effect persists until the next time you confirm an attack or the run ends.
It's not really a problem at all, but it's definitely not intentional since it never happened on PS3.

[Allexan]

Just to clear my conscience: people, who encounter audio stutter, freezes and crashes - do you use any 3rd-party software with your game?

I'm use software(ScpToolkit) for PS3 controller, because I'm prefer that software over Steam Big picture. But any other games do not have problems with that.

And now try to make a run without it, just to be sure? This would give some valuable info.
