Issues unresolved

Knife of Dunwall: Crashing during the third act

The DLC appears to crash a lot for people in the third act, no solution.

Possible solution:

Instructions

Knife of Dunwall: Low resolution textures on butchers

The game is using the low detail textures on butchers instead of the high detail textures.

Knife of Dunwall: Missing 2D image files

Generic placeholder images are replacing some 2D icons and images in-game.[4]

Game crash at startup

Some users report that turning Steam Cloud off and on again solves the problem.
Instructions

Issues fixed

Screen turns white or very bright randomly during gameplay

Bright screen bug
Instructions

"First time setup" runs every time game is started

Instructions

Or simply run Steam as administrator and start the game. Accept all installation requests. After closing and restarting the game without running as an administrator, the dialogs will be gone.

Texture Pop-in When Switching Weapons

Instructions
Please note that unless the high quality texture can be loaded right away by your computer, this can make the texture pop-in even more noticeable, since it only disable the fade that is meant to hide the transition from low to high quality texture.

Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/205100/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (205100) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
