Issues fixed

Can't exit tent in chapter 6

Near the end of chapter 6 is a tent where you order Melie to open a chest. After that she goes through the exit but sometimes you can't go through it.

You can try these possible solutions[6][7][8]
  1. Restart from checkpoint (it's right in this tent).
  2. Repeatedly crouch and stand up near the exit while holding forward.
  3. If that didn't work try walking backwards from the tent.
  4. Try capping framerate to 30 fps.
  5. Try Alt-Tabbing out of game and back in.
  6. Try pressing Alt-Enter.

Frametime Spikes

Disabling Simultaneous Multi-threading (SMT) on a Ryzen system may resolve constant frametime spikes or erratic frametimes, providing a smoother experience by only running the game on one thread per physical CPU core. A tool such as Process Lasso[9] will allow you to disable SMT only for this game. Unknown if this is an issue on Intel systems, if so they may also benefit from disabling Hyper-threading.

Tested on the Game Pass version with the following specs:

  • Ryzen 5800x
  • RTX 3080 10GB
  • 32GB RAM
  • SATA SSD

  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>/752590/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (752590) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    Tested by running the game with EGS closed which resulted in the game crashing then booting up EGS and starting properly after. Using the -EpicPortal command at the end of my Shortcut causes the game to just crash and not even launch EGS.
