Issues unresolved

York begins mumbling at sidequest 20

When York is talking to Lilly in the Milk Barn for the third and final storage room sidequest, York begins mumbling during the conversation.[8]

There are no known fixes for this, although this is a very minor glitch and does not prevent the player from doing the sidequest.

Cutscenes don't play

For some, cutscenes aren't shown. The player must press Esc or Enter to get past a black screen in order to get to the next section.

Game crashes after logos

Some users on Windows 7 are unable to boot the game beyond the logos. Windows Event Viewer shows a crash relating to XAudio2_7.dll unloaded.[9]

Crash at the beginning of Chapter 9 corrupts save file

A common occurrence is for the game to crash during the cutscenes at the start of chapter 9 (going from the art gallery to the diner) and corrupt the save file. The cutscenes should be skipped to avoid this.

A save file made right after these cutscenes is available here.

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>/247660/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (247660) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
