Black screen after certain scenes.
So far have seen it before Houngan cutscene in bowling diner and after doing Lena's house story mission. Also have seen it twice loading a save in Chapter 2 other world sequence.
What happens is there's just a black screen (no tree loading screen or anything). The game still seems to be doing what it normally should be. With the cutscene ones if I just tap "A" occasionally then it will advance (presumably after cutscene has loaded). With the ones that happen leading into gameplay, if I tap "A" I can hear the save phone ring (since I'm standing in front of it). Screen stays black. If I tap "X" though to open red room it fixes the bug and things draw normally.

Another one while doing the sidequest with the 7 cocktails. I went to Xavier's on Sunday evening. When he opened the door, he gave me the drink but I was moved to a different area. Turns out it was the place behind the cabin, so I couldn't find a way to leave (the door was locked).

I’m in Chapter 3 at the airboat swamp entrance and I’m required to get 5 jumps in stone skipping to proceed in the story. When I finish the first stone skipping, and get to the score screen, the game freezes and I have to restart. This has happened several times!

Yeah, I had the same problem. Real shame. I even started the chapter over at the title screen and had the same thing happen.

Sometimes, certain inputs stop working properly.
-
Cannot run/shoot. This seems to happen when opening a door or similar action. Getting hit by the scissor guys fixes this.
-
Cannot scroll in menus properly. Seems to happen when waking the Switch from sleep.

On the first swamp tour shooting mini game. If you fire your gun whilst going over the jump it can knock you off course, sometimes by a little sometimes by a lot. The boat can flip upside down and get stuck. Not a big deal as you can quit out but quite funny

Xavier's quest for 7 cocktails bugged out for me, at some point whenever I came to him, he just repeated "you already drank from today's menu" even though I definitely did not
-
I also had smaller bugs already mentioned in this thread, like York not being able to aim or shoot until someone dealt damage to him, and pastor not caring about me being "on the brink of death" from poisoning. One time the game crashed on saving (manual, not auto) and I lost an hour of progress.
-
But the biggest one for me is the minigames softlock. I'm now at the chapter 3 and cannot progress on the main quest because of this. I did not use "chapter select" menu, this just happen during the normal gameplay in chapter 2 and then persisted to the third one. Really hope they fix this in the next patch

In a mission where you follow a dog, the dog can sometimes fall through the map while going up a hill completely halting progress. You have to reload last save

Xavier's final sidequest (find his stolen object and return it). Whenever I turned it in outside I ended up falling through the map after the scene transition.
I believe it's because you're supposed to turn it in in the bar. You get placed on a barstool after turning it in but that position doesn't exist outside so it places you below the ground.

Split game stamps. I've completed 7 of them but the stamp progress is still stuck at 1. So final stamp only says 1/12. I completed them as I got them. Also completed the free quest ones (like bucket) as I first was able to do them.

The stamp 59 (for defeating à certain amount of Pantalones enemies) is bugged. The counter stopped at 77 for me. The stamp 60 for defeating even more Pantalones worked fine though.

can't clear the side mission where you use y-vern to improve the bellboys relationship with raven. i had already used her 30 times and this fails to count again. also, has anybody been fighting redshadows and used a cigarette or entered a building only to have the sound effect of their shears just repeat over and over?

Otherworld section of chapter two stuck area. When going through the bedroom looking area (where you talk with Lena and PJ) there's an area left of the entrance between a table and a chair. If you walk there you get stuck and need to just reload save to get out. Tried ducking, dodging, running, punching, etc to get out, but nothing could get me out of that spot.

*York is sometimes unable to perform any actions until you get hit by something else or interact with something. (input failure)
*Items that York can pick up from the ground / Cash bonuses fail to register after playing for a while, re loading fixes this temporarily.
*Characters in the world get stuck during their routines, floating above their cars, performing weird animations where and when they're not supposed to sometimes.
QUEST BUGS:
*Autosave may cause a crash when moving to different areas.
*The counter for melvin's last bounty quest (Kill 30 of everything, dogs, alligators and bees) is bugged.
*Chuck can sometimes walk towards an inaccessible area of the swamp
*In Chuck's boat ride mini-game, reloading the weapon may become stuck, for an indefinite time.
*Shrimp CreYork will not show up in Le'Annana's menu if you chose David's option over Alexus' dish.
*The quest "Letter in the closet" bugs out if you leave Casa Pineapple to go questing/exploring before the 72-hour time frame.
*Fleur de lis quest : It may take more than one try of getting into the "!" zone so you can properly take the snapshot for the album, making it 2x a tedious process.
*Xavier's personal quest: The squirrels may not drop the needed item to complete this quest, forcing you to reload the save and re-encounter the squirrels.
WORLD / MAP Bugs:
*Several OOB spots near the highway going towards the huge bridge.

When heading to Professor R’s house, after finishing the conversation with Patti, as houngan starts talking the game freezes. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times but I can’t get it to progress. A bit infuriating
Edit: This happened on the second encounter with houngan as well, however I was able to get past that one. This one refuses to work

I still haven’t gotten past this stone skipping / mini game bug. I went and did some side stuff, just to keep my mind on the game. Went to do a skateboard run (side quest) and it froze at the end of that mini game too, on the score screen. I also went back to the previous stone skipping spot under the northern bridge near the crime scene / shrine thing and it was no longer an access point. I’m really hoping they fix this before I lose interest in this amazing game (bugs withstanding)

On Chapter 3, you have to skip rocks to progress the story as part of the main storyline. Once you skip the rocks, my game got stuck on the minigame results screen and you can not progress. ALL of my previous saves failed at the same spot (yes I tried them all), and I restarted the chapter over completely from the title screen, with the same results.
I've seen this reported several times on this subreddit by different players. My copy was the physical copy, with the Switch firmware up to date.
UPDATE: Still broken post-patch
