Players have reported occasional stability issues, including glitches that affect gameplay, such as unintended energy loss during interactions and getting stuck in environments. While these issues can be frustrating, some users have found ways to resolve them.
“While playing, I encountered two glitches. One occurred when talking to a character outside, which cost me a lot of energy instead of pausing the game. The second glitch happened after using the machine on the ship in winter; I got stuck on top of it and couldn't move (I eventually managed to get free, though).”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing progress.”
“I experienced multiple instances of lag and freezing, especially during cutscenes, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
