Hi Catherine fans,

We've worked hard to make Catherine Classic the best experience possible on PC, but the infinite variety of PC configurations means that sometimes bugs slip through our nets.

If you experience any issues with Catherine Classic, please report them here IN THIS THREAD. Keeping everything in one place helps our QA team collate any frequently reported bugs.

Please also report your PC configuration -- it helps us tremendously.

Happy puzzling and...cheating?

Bug found:
When i enter boss fights (for example, immoral beast) my normally inverted Y axis reverts itself to normal. To resolve I go into the menu and turn "Invert Y axis" back to off, and then it inverts itself again. Its only happening on bosses.

While playing most of the 3D cutscenes are being very blurry apart from some small occasions.

Can't select resolution above 1920x1080 when my TV is 4K 3840x2160. I have a 2nd monitor that is 1080. but TV is the primary one for this game.

***A LOT OF THESE ISSUES ARE NOW FIXED, PLEASE SEE MY NEW POST***

Just a bit of background about my experience with Catherine: I've poured probably 100+ hours speedrunning the Xbox 360 version of the game. I know how this game feels and should run at 30fps. Some parts of the game do run at 60, just not puzzle gameplay.

I'm also OCD with bug reports and have supplied video proof of most of them occuring.

Major PC Specs:
CPU: i7-3770k
CPU: GXT 970
RAM: 16GB 1866MHz
Installed on: Samsung Evo 850 SSD

Puzzle gameplay has a 30FPS feel (dropped inputs, frame drops/spikes). Between level and bar gameplay feels fine in my opinion.

Using a PS4 controller shows tips for a Xbox One controller.
Note: it does show Square and X on during gameplay, but not when tooltips should appear.
Note: It shouldn't be Steam. Crash N Sane Trilogy detects it as a PS4 controller just fine.

The sheep falling on the pillar in the beginning is out of sync with the audio.

"Pause" doesn't appear when the cutscene is paused. (Personally I don't care for this being gone, it helps us take good screenshots of cutscenes.)

Crashes when chaning video settings. (Fixed with a driver update...mostly)

Side note: For a while I was unable to change graphic settings while in game, so I resorted to changing them via the config file (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\TheEccentricApe\Catherine\AppSettings.ini) and turing on Multithreaded does this.[www.twitch.tv]

When setting the language to Japanese, Vincent will stay English even when The Killer and Narrator are Japanese. / Vincent is in English while climbing when game is set to Japanese.

2D Cutscenes feel like they're lagging.(Also, it behaves oddly with StreamlabsOBS, this just might be my own problem).

The text for the audio device choppily scrolls.

2D UI Elements can't decide if they want to go fast or slow while VSync is off.

Compared to this.

SEVERAL (15+) crashes in ~90 minutes of playtime.

for some reason my number lock is going on and off like crazy whenever i start up this game.

[Alligator]

I also noticed stuttering during the FMV cutscenes.

[memesworth mcgee]

got all the way to the start of the fifth day and the game suddenly crashed during a cutscene and whenever i go to open it i dont get past the atlus screen until it crashes again...

[Fallen]

The game crashes my laptop when i force it to use the discrete amd gpu, at first a message poped up telling me that my drivers had issues (DXV ........, the message didn't show for long because of the crash so i didn't have time to properly read through it ), the driver worked correctly with other games, I even reinstalled it but still nothing, i am using :
windows 10 Home 64 bits
i5 6200U
6GB Ram
R7 M360
The game run on intel HD but on low resolution, hope you can patch up a fix.

FPS issue
The FPS counter shows 60 fps, but it's visible that fps is like 30 or even drops lower sometimes.

Blurry screens
Does anyone experience blurry screens like this?

I suppose it shouldn't be like this?

XBOX joypad (not One, standard XBOX pad for PC)
Sensitivity is totally killing me, I set the lowest sensitivity and still can't use my pad, in tower Vincent runs wherever he wants to...


PS. Just for the record: MSI Afterburner crashes the game.

Gameplay animations run visually at 30 fps, while other parts of the game like the ingame cutscenes at the bar run at 60. My fps counter may say 60, but it can tell the difference from 60 and 30 when different elements have conflicting framerates. The gameplay appears very choppy at "60fps."

[Alligator]

The gameplay normally runs at 30 fps, but there are frequent drops to what feels like 15 fps.

[Florence]

In the introductory prologue (and probably other places?), sometimes the character's dialogue gets cut off at the very end as they start saying the next line before the proper cue. Running the game on a 144hz screen, if that makes a difference.

Can ditto this, numlock is toggling on and off every frame. Because I have an LED hooked to it, that means my *keyboard* is constantly flashing while ingame.

EDIT: Because my numlock is how I switch between keypad and directional keys, the bar segments are a pain in the ass to play because I have to hit numlock + up/down in a frame-perfect movement to navigate the phone. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Hello. I going to report some bugs i have encounter in my gameplay in my Lap-top, i will remark that this errors or bugs just occurred in my laptop in my desktop PC i didn't find this kinds of bugs

In my laptop i found (in a SSD and HDD):
-Most of the 3D cutscenes are being very blurry apart from some small occasions with lower framerate.
-The gameplay mark 60 FPS but sometimes feels like 30 or maybe less (I start to think this kind of lag apear whe the clouds in "Altar" apear)
Note: I played with a PS4 Controller
In My PC Found the following:
-The Xbox 360 controller (and probally the Xbox one, dind't try it) shows bottons of PS4, but the images in the Tutorial were a Xbox One controller
-No graphic issues.

My laptop have:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Core i7-6700HQ @ 2.60Ghz (base)
RAM 16 GB DDR4
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX1060 (6 GB)
SSD: Sandisk (128GB)
HHD: i don't remember the mark (1TB)

My desktop have
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Core i5-2320 @ 3.00Ghz (base)
RAM 16 GB DDR3
Graphics Card: PNY Nvidia GTX1060 (6 GB)
HHD: Barracuda (4TB)
It's weird that the game have the issues in mi Lap, cuz my lap is more recent than my PC, maybe have the same problem that "Injustice 2", The game works perfect in my PC but in my Lap it's unplayable (the game goes to 5 or 2 FPS in battle)

Forget to mencion both were in 1080p, borderless, Vsync on, and with all the configurations on

Edit:
Now i have more time playing on my PC... And i have the seme problem wich sometimes the game is in 60 FPS... But sometimes the game drop the frames for a second

Keep the Good Effort
I am waiting for patches

Infinite Loading Screen bug. I tried button mashing to see if the game would respond. It didn't. This occurred after the first level and after watching the restaurant scene with Vincent and his two friends. Would have to redo the first level of the game to get back to the same scene since I didn't get to save just yet.
