I have had two bugs. One where I popped out of a vent to the floor and just fell through thew earth and died. Then a bug where suddenly after editing decor in my apartment, the 'X' button doesn't open inventory.

Along with the zooming thing in the case book, I've never been able to open the map without holding tab, and even then can't move the map around or zoom it. My most recent one was the game not giving me a hide prompt for a bed, so I was immediately caught in the scripted tutorial event.

Unsure if it's been reported, I've managed to clip into apartments by sitting down on chairs outside of them, you just have to wait how ever long and when you go to get up, you left click ( i think ) to stand up and for some reason it pushes you into the chair and into the room

After a few hours the game started to feel glitchy, textures were missing sometimes. I tried to save my progress and game crashed at this moment. Lost about 4 hours of progress. :(
Also in one building there been case of spawning bathroom cabinet on the wall above the work computer. I needed to watch cameras but couldn't see it cause lower part of cabinet blocked off monitor completely.

Also getting this crash while attempting to save. Happened twice so far. Luckily no save corruption, but the save it was attempting to make when it crashed doesn't exist.

Doesn't happen every time I save either. Seems like it could be related to the performance degradation overtime (memory leak?) as it usually only crashes when I try to save after an hour or more of playtime.

Anyone else getting a random UI readout at the bottom of the screen along the lines of:

<sprite="desktop" name="Left Control"> Crouch

Oh my god it's been driving me nuts. Glad to know I'm not the only one who changed that hot key. C is the worst crouch key.

Currently editing decor is a bit buggy, in a few ways.

Bought a micro cruncher (PC) and was unable to actually place it anywhere, same with the coffee maker.

[Bluehawk]

Saving and loading a game wiped out everything I bought in my apartment except for the wallpaper choices.

Client for a theft case(They were robbed, not the stealing one) said they wrote some helpful info down, then said, "Here you go," and gave me nothing in two different cases like this.

I reported this in game already, but will also add here. I toss a diamond into my apartment and can sell it infinitely through the decor menu. The diamond WILL disappear visually, but it's always in my apartment items and can continuously sell it.

I seem to be getting a lot of bugged dialogue when it comes to phone calls - my last two cases have required me to call someone to start the job and its being cut off or merged into in person dialogue. For example, 'The payphone at *blank* will call exactly at 0:00, answer it'

[Nagasonica_]

When I open the map, I can't zoom in/out with the mouse wheel.

Btw, this game is AMAZING.

we all waiting for twitch integration fix((

Yeah i found the best tactics for me - regularly save to two different saves and play by sessions for about an hour then restart the game.

Check the other tabs on the job listing, that's where I've found it.
