Update your GPU drivers to the latest version. If the issue persists, right-click the game in Steam → Properties → Launch Options → add -windowed. AMD users: open Windows Settings → System → Display → Graphics → disable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling.

Files are timestamped. Back them up before any major patch. As of v0.8.6, the game creates an automatic backup save every 3 real-world minutes during active sessions.

Confirmed issue in v0.8.4 (BAS-088). Patch in progress. Temporary workaround: pause (Escape) and unpause during the cutscene to resync the audio stream. Does not trigger a save or affect progress.

This is a streaming issue on systems with less than 16GB RAM (BAS-091). Workaround: Settings → Graphics → Texture Quality → set to High (not Ultra) before zone transition. Fix is in the v0.8.6 queue. Attach your crash log to the form below to help us track edge cases.

Cross-save between Steam and Epic Games is not available at launch — Steam and Epic are separate save systems. This is on the post-launch roadmap. Cross-platform saves between the two PC stores may be added in a post-launch patch.

Known on specific audio configurations (BAS-094). Check: Settings → Audio → Harrow Proximity Cue → ensure slider is not at zero. If using AMD integrated audio or Creative X-Fi hardware, try switching to Windows default audio output temporarily to confirm. Report your hardware via the form below so we can add your config to the fix list.

Check minimum requirements: Blood & Silence requires an NVIDIA RTX 3070 / AMD RX 6800 XT or equivalent at 1080p/60 on High settings. For FPS drops specifically in The Maw district, reduce Volumetric Fog Quality — this is the most expensive setting in fog-heavy areas. Also ensure GPU drivers are current. DLSS/FSR quality mode is recommended as the performance baseline.
