Frequent Player-Reported Issues

  • Controller bugs (Steam/Android): Unresponsive, menus failing to register, or impossible navigation, try disconnect/reconnect, switch USB port or wireless receiver, and restart game.
  • PC crash/freeze (Velvet Room, cutscene, menus):
    • Update GPU drivers (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel)
    • Run as admin (Properties > Compatibility > Run as administrator)
    • Verify integrity of game files via Steam
    • Lower graphics settings (especially after leaving game on overnight)
      (Sportskeeda PC crash fixes)
  • Mobile stutter/attack lag/failed results screens: Close background apps, lower graphics, clear cache, restart device.
  • Miscellaneous: Error in skill descriptions (trait/weapon bugs), incorrect enemy weakness/resistance display (fixed Nov 6, 2025); random freezing before All Out Attack or after long marathons, restart is safest bet.

General Fixes Checklist

  • Restart the game: Resolves most transient mission/quest issues and event menu bugs.
  • Update drivers: Always check for latest graphics/OS/controller updates.
