Issues unresolved

White screen crash (both AMD and NVIDIA)

The game continues playing in the background so if you're in a save zone you can quick save your progress by clicking on Esc+ Enter+ Enter. You should hear a chime sound effect when the game have been saved successfully.
Terminate the game using either Alt+F4 or Alt+Tab followed by terminating it through the Task Manager in Windows.
A temporary fix for AMD is to downgrade the graphics drivers to 16.11.5.[5]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/524220/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (524220) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
