Dispatch: Bugs with Demo? Tell Us! (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: screen tearing with the weird resolution select bug stuck in 720 and 900p but the resolution is actually you native one so whichever is selected does nothing at all as so vsyn even with it being enabled from NVIDIA…

How to fix it

  1. Address screen tearing and resolution selection issues by ignoring the in-game display settings menu. The resolution options may be locked to specific settings while actually running at your native resolution, rendering the menu selections ineffective. Additionally, force vertical sync through your graphics control panel if standard settings fail to remove tearing.
  2. Resolve controller input problems by enabling Steam controller support for Xbox controllers.
  3. Switch to a mouse and keyboard specifically for the hacking mini-game, as controller button labels may not display correctly and the hacking segment cannot be completed using a gamepad alone.

If it still doesn't work

  • If you experience screen freezes where the audio and conversations continue while the visuals hang during specific narrative moments, you may need to wait for the scene to progress past the frozen trigger point.
  • Report any unlisted bugs directly to the development team by joining their Discord server and posting in the designated support channel, creating a new thread on the community forum, or sending an email to their support address.

Does the demo not support controllers? I tried disabling steam controller support, thinking the game (and demo) would have it's own native support, but I see nothing. EDIT: Turned on steams controller support for Xbox controllers, works... fine, but all labels were still for M&K. I could not figure out how to play the hacking mini-game with controller, completely, had to M&K that part. I have…

So after 2.4 hours test-running the demo I have two very specific moments when the screen freezes but the conversations keep going. Specifically the first is at the "Triple D's" moment which unfreezes itself right when.... due to me not knowing her name I'll call her Supergirl, put's the papers back on the moving trolley. The second is actually right after, when they walk away from the trolley…

Ending Bugged??

Part of it is because, narratively, she's the poster child of the Phoenix program. She doesn't believe she's capable of being good, but Robert (and Blazer) believe otherwise.

FPS LIMITER

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: So like idk- unless the cutscenes aren't rendered in engine or there's a legit reason why they wouldn't let you set your own frame-cap, this game isn't exactly demanding to run.
