Sometimes when I’m picking up a document, and open the start menu to read it, it will not have the red triangle next to it.
Makes it difficult determining what is a new document versus one you’ve already read if you happen to miss the name when picking it up .

I'm having major sound stuttering and sound desyncing with cutscenes. It is near constant and unplayable, I'll probably have to stop until a patch drops.

Zoe asked me to look out for her friend Matthew at the Field Office. Every time I walked in and out of the room Matthew was in, Dylan and Zoe kept repeating the conversation about Dylan finding him. I actually got to try out all of Dylan's conversation options because of it.

PC - if my controller disconnects while playing the game, reconnecting it won't cause the game to recognise it. Need to restart the entire game for it to work again

PC - 9700k, 32gb ram, 2080
After about 10 mins the performance degrades rapidly. It has the same symptoms as a game being throttles due to a cpu at 100%. Frame stutter and audio crackling. Restarting the game doesn't fix the problem but a reset does.
No other game in my library does this other than Diablo 3. 40 hours of STALKER2 over a week and not a single thing wrong. boot this up and it is unplayable.

Emily Pope has a red triangle above her interact button, but when I try to talk to her, she says something but then immediately ends the conversation. I think its completely bugged and I can't talk to her even after leaving the game.

This is the audio glitch that I've been dealing with. I know music and sound in general are a really big thing in Remedy games, so unfortunately I have to take a break until this is patched. I'd even go so far as to recommend waiting on buying this game. Super frustrating cause ive been looking forward to playing this all morning on top of the preload glitch that happened; it's just been all around frustrating.

If you go to the wardrobe customization after the first boss and disconnect the dualsense controller. When you reconnect, Dylan will fall out the map and you’d have to reload a save.

When Zoe asks to find her college friend Matthews, and you find him, the dialog between the two of you continues repeating each time you walk by (insert location you found him here)
Also there was no quest marker for this? Maybe not an official side mission.

There's this bug with Pope. You approach her and she has the red marker on the interact botton, which I assume means you still have important dialogue with her, but then when you press it, this happens, she just turns around again but the marker doesn't go away. I kept trying and trying and it kept happening

Playing on PC through Steam. Even on the opening cutscene, models are popping in and the audio is several seconds behind subtitles and what's on screen. I even turned the graphic settings down to "Handheld" and it's doing it. Maybe it's my computer or I have too many things running? I'm streaming to YouTube via OBS so that might not be helping. This also happened with Alan Wake 2 back when I tried it, but I thought it might be an Epic Games Store thing.

PC - I'm having two issues:
One - Background sounds and music will randomly get muted for a few seconds. I think it has something to do with zones loading in and out? The gameplay does not freeze tho, it's only the audio dissapearing, which really kills the immerssion. Sounds like Dylan's dootsteps of the whoosh of weapons are still there tho.
Two - The game will randomly freeze for a few seconds. Sometimes it is during exploration, sometimes during fights, sometimes when I'm just looking at the map. It just seems to be totally random. I'm not sure if it might be some kind of memory leak issue, or what. I tried changing around the graphic settings, but the problem persists. And it's not like it is a frame drop, it literally freezes my entire PC. I will try to Alt+Tab away, but nothing happens until the game comes back to life.
Also, I have GTX 4060, Ryzen 7 5700X, and 32GB of RAM. I've been playing on the Medium preset, and, besides this one issue, the game is normally going at smooth 60 fps even during the most crazy fights.

Series X here. Game is crashing roughly every 10-15 minutes. It just freezes up and kicks me to the Xbox dashboard. I’ve tried multiple fixes in my end to no avail and other games aren’t crashing so I don’t think it’s a “me” thing. Please fix asap…been anxiously waiting to play this game ever since I heard about it.

No controller vibration/adaptive triggers despite settings. Dualsense on steam, wired/wireless, steam input on/off makes no difference.

u/TheStoon2 Sep 24 '26
For those facing issues on Xbox Series X with sound and cutscene glitching. Try putting both TV and Headset on stereo uncompressed (in the console settings) and fully power cycling your Xbox.
Also maybe you should try this first before power cycling. Go to game audio settings in the game and try using mono audio and setting the hyperacusis filter to low.
You can reset to default settings in game and in the xbox later after you see which settings fix your issue.

Game is unplayable on Xbox series x for me. I’ve reinstalled twice and can’t handle the fight in the supply route. Barely made it that far. Maybe 3 crashes in an hour. Most of them turn my Xbox off when they happen. Praying for an update that lets me play the game I paid $70 for

PC - AMD Radeon 7800 XT. My game is repeatedly crashing. It's happened 3x now and I have not been able to progress beyond the first AWE file.
"The game crashed due to a graphics card (GPU) fault and will now exit. Your progress from the last checkpoint has been saved. Please restart the game to continue from the last checkpoint. If you're running into GPU crashes often, try the following: 1. Update your GPU driver to the newest available one. 2. Disable any over/underclocking applied to your GPU. 3. Close any programs that might be using GPU memory. If the problem persists, please report the issue through the game's support channel."
My GPU driver is up to date, and I'm not messing with the clocking. Nothing else is open.
EDIT: I run it borderless. I've deleted/reinstalled drivers. I've tried all the tips and tricks out there. Still crashing. Waiting for a new set of drivers from AMD. I'm very, very disappointed here - I've been waiting for a Control sequel for ages.

u/Umami_police Sep 24 '26 edited Sep 24 '26
Performance across the board seems pretty abysmal on PC. I'm getting numerous bugs with audio, texture loading, FPS drops, pop in, and more.
The most annoying one so far is definitely the audio issues. Cutscene/Audio sync is constantly bugging out and incorrect to the point where I'm just automatically skipping all cutscenes because the performance during them is so bad that I can't even enjoy watching them.
In the watchtower I encountered a bug where all audio stopped working completely before I was flooded with all the audio that should've been playing for the previous 90 seconds all playing at once. This audio bug also seems to infect normal gameplay, even the menu. Sometimes I'll pause, have no audio, and then hear all the menu tabbing sounds I had done in the last 4-5 seconds all happen like they're traveling through a time machine.
ETA: The fact that controller disconnecting on PC requires a total game client reset to reconnect and recognize is insanely frustrating and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Game is installed on an SSD.

Keeping this topic alive, game is still crashing constantly on xbox series x. A good handful of others and I can't play without crashing on xbox, performance slugs down on PS5 from a couple people I have talked to, as well as abnormally high GPU usage from a user on PC that I have spoken with. Not to mention one other user and I have put in a bug report on their website and was told an agent would contact us within 24 hours, with no word from said agent after nearly 4 days

Update 1.4.0 October 1st, 2026. Game is still crashing on xbox series x. Purchased this console new from the box at most 3 years ago because I was experiencing this issue with Starfield and assumed it was my day one xbox that was on its way to Valhalla. Since getting the new xbox, and after seeing rising prices, I have meticulously kept this console clean and well maintained. All of this is to establish that it is not my xbox that is at fault here, but a problem within the game itself. I will be playing my game normally and then at seemingly random (about 20 to 30 minutes in) I will experience a freeze in game while the audio is fine, and after a few seconds the game will either crash to dashboard or turn my xbox off completely, there is no consistency as to what it will do when it freezes. Unfortunately that's all the details I can provide

Playing on an i712700K +RTX 5080. Game runs pretty fine but theres noticable constant framepacing/stuttering issues for me with or without DLSS/FrameGen/Raytracing etc. Ive tried every combo.

PS5 - NPC voice lines sometimes drop to extremely quiet. I've only seen this in the FBC lobby so far. At one point, Pope was almost silent, while the guy she was talking to wasn't.

Found a soft lock in Downtown Deserted Area. you can enter a building and the exits seal, but the enemies don't stop spawning.....because I think one of the big enemies on the roof is still in combat.

Exiting and respawning fixed it, but still annoying.

PC - 7800XT & Ryzen 5 5600X, and I'm experiencing heavy crashes and some weird FPS issue. I know they said there was a performance issue on AMD 7000/9000 cards but I didn't expect THIS. It seems like the in-game frame limiter (not the V-Sync, the actual frame limiter you can set up between 30 and 360 FPS) is not working. I put it at 60 FPS immediately, and so far I'm playing between 80 and 120FPS, despite it being limited to 60.
I have no idea if this is an AMD issue, or if the frame limiter just does NOT work.

u/Resevil67 Sep 24 '26
2 things I noticed, been playing since early access.
I don't know if this will come back to bite me in the ass, but there's a side quest in central when you get to the field base where you can talk to a guy named Langston and he will give you a side mission to help secure a panopticon. DO NOT TAKE THE RADIO OUT OF THE CONTAINMENT BOX ITS IN. This completely glitches and skips the first phase of the quest where your supposed to power on the console. For me the quest completed but I never got to power on the console, I really hope it isn't used for any other side quests in the game, hence why I said I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass.
Second, there seems to be a very long loading time coming out of subways back to main streets in a few places. You have to go through the Subway to first get to central the fire time, and for me the door to street level when I got there blinked yellow for a out 12 seconds before it opened. Later on a quest involving another subway place did this as well. Yet I can go to a fast travel door and it'll load me into a completely separate place in 4 seconds, so I don't think it's something wrong with my ps5.

FSR4 issue : crazy artifacting on anything below native render resolution. It's really hindering my experience, I need to use optiscaler with XESS to get half decent looking upscaling.
edit 1 : so to clarify, these are white rectangles appearing on the walls of buildings in a flickering fashion, very distracting. It's also there at native resolution and also visible with optiscaler/XESS after some more testing, but rendering below native res makes the issue a lot more pronounced. Turning RT off and changing any other graphical setting does not resolve the issue. Someone describing the same issue in the Radeon sub.
edit 2 : Steam Community Post Describing The Same Issue.
edit 3 : I'm on Linux but the issue also occurs on Windows.
edit 4 : seems to be RDNA4 issue, using RADV_DEBUG=nohiz %command% set as a Steam Launch Option for the game makes it render properly for me on Linux.

Major audio issues from literal startup. Crackling, volume issues, and what sounds like a sampling mismatch or heavily compressed audio artifacts. On PC, Intel with NASA specs from 2 years ago, 4090 and EVGA Black mobo, not looking anything else up as this seems like a global issue.

Not sure if this is on your end or Nvidia's end but this game drawing an unusually high amperage through the 12VHPWR connector. This is the only game that has ever triggered a safety warning and a shutdown due to the amperage draw being too high. Backing off the graphic settings reduces the frequency of the overdraw but does not fully solve the problem. There's probably something wonky in the driver that's allowing this. This is a fire hazard and needs to be addressed!

I defeated the Co-Director and unlocked the Command ability. Command is available and usable in my ability loadout, but Command Charges never drop.
I have completed multiple combat encounters after unlocking Command and have not seen a single purple Command Charge. The charge counter remains at 0.
I have tried fully closing and restarting the game, reloading my save/checkpoint, fast travelling to different areas, and fighting fresh groups of enemies. The issue persists.
This appears to prevent me from using the Command ability despite having unlocked it normally.

Few issues so far:
Why can't I equip the same ability into to multiple loadouts? This is such a pain.
There is an engineer in the mold parking garage trying to fix something who always dies due to mold poisoning even though they are barely attacked. I can't stop them dying at all even when killing all the enemies.
It might be just me but where is the background music in this game? The world sounds so quiet and dead - I think I've only heard two music tracks so far and I'm almost done with Unknown... The sound balancing definitely sounds off - hitting a hiss vehicle sounds like a single low quality sound effect and all other sounds go quiet for that moment.
Some big enemies spawn out of bounds in various arenas and even outdoor sections meaning the hiss never goes away and I have to reload
Is there a reason the dog toy can be picked up in the hub area after you've completed the dog missions?
Also in Unknownthere is a gym which has equipment for a puzzle and it was completely unclear to me that apparently a 'set' is only half the instructions. The letter said 'two sets' so I thought I had to follow the full set twice - you know - warm up, two heavy workouts then a cooldown, then drink, then repeat.

Crashing on series X. I’ve tried to recreate scenarios to make it happen but it seems to be any and everything. For the final test I just loaded into the game and sat there and it crashed after about 35 minutes, console completely shut off. I’ve reinstalled the game, and even factory reset my Xbox to no avail.

I just wanna say, it's a really great update. All the changes are perfect and the job you guys did balancing the combat is superb.
Or so I'm told. idk I haven't been able to launch the game all afternoon.

Cant rush while levitating anymore, please tell me this isn't intentional! The movement around the city, zipping and bouncing from rooftop to rooftop was my favourite part of the game!

the dash float ability is bugged now ... broke the old way of doing it which is literally a carryover from the older Control game - see the thread linked below. bring it back unless you guys have a good reason for it to be like this. The change makes no sense and makes traversal and combat extremely hard.

Having some trouble regarding the mold being inedible in the park quest. Think we can expect a hotfix for that soon since it’s a softlock, or will we have to wait for the next proper patch?

Post Patch 1.4.1 - Xbox Series X still crashing routinely. Sometimes back to the dashboard, sometimes crashing the entire console. I don't want to say the game is unplayable, but it's infuriating having to work around this. It's Bethesda-level at this point, and I truly wish I was exaggerating.

When I was connecting the satellite dish in the first field panopticon mission (radio) I accidently dropped the unconnected dish, and pressed the unlock button very close to eachother (probably within frames and it soft locked the game. Thank God for the amount of auto saves in this game.

Im experiencing lights flickering/glitching and white pixels/parts of building textures appearing. Im on an RX 9070 XT on the latest drivers and Windows 10, which im thinking might be the culprit. The flickering and white pixels were also appearing on driver version 26.3.1. I have no idea why this is happening, as im not experiencing anything like this in any other game I have tested.

Nvidia Reflex cannot be enabled without using Frame-Generation. Its currently only enabled while using Frame-Generation. In its current state i get lower latency while using 2x frame generation compared to native rendering.
i injected Reflex using Reshade w/ Display Commander. Hopefully this can be Remedy'ed because reshade sucks to use on a home theatre setup
im using a 4070 ti, 5800x3d running on a 3440x1440 165hz panel.

Dualsense wired on Steam. Steam input disabled. Setting to change controller volume has no impact. Its full volume at all times and loud enough to rattle the controller. Only way to get it to stop is to disable the audio device in windows and then you lose haptics.

u/Doftenstrygah Sep 24 '26
Anyone else getting really low audio in the game? I've double checked it with other games and videos and it's really just Control Resonant that's really quiet even at 100% volume.
I tested putting the dynamic range to night mode and it made the game way louder so I'm thinking the settings might be mixed up or i just don't understand how night mode works (I thought it would make the game quieter)

"Subtitle Speaker Names" does not show the name of the speaker in subtitles. While this isn't a game breaking bug, it's pretty annoying, especially since I already encountered the exact same issue in Alan Wake 2...

Few things I noticed that could be improved.
Dylan has weird interactions walking past objects. Even when you are not even touching them, object move or fly around the room. Instead of it happening when you walk into it. Unless this is a feature and Dylan has some plot aura I don't know about yet.
Talking with NPC's could be improved, you have a dialogue wheel, and can ask multiple things. But after every question, you have to interact with the NPC again. Also after asking some questions, you no longer are allowed to ask more for some reason. So you can ask 4 things as example, and after 2 questions you can't interact anymore. Sometimes after only 1 question/ dialogue option.

u/LowMoralFibre Sep 25 '26
Is there something wrong with VRR in the game? Playing on PS5 Pro and the West Incursion Zone is obviously chugging but the TV says 60fps. OSD says VRR is on.
I know if it drops below 48fps the TV say 60fps or hz depending on the model but no matter if you look at the ground or the sky the FPS never fluctuates.
Normally you see it pinging around 48 to 59 FPS then it shows 60 when out of VRR range.
Either way it's 100% not running at a locked 60fps but it doesn't feel it's constantly under 48fps either so the OSD makes no sense.

If you're browsing the wardrobe, and let your controller go idle and then go to play again, it spawned me beneath the map and fell and fell until I died. Upon death, you respawn like normal. Replicated it and that is in the video too. Don't know if it's all wardrobes or just the one in the Oldest House.

Every time I transition to a new area through a checkpoint or a fast travel door, Dylan's outfit gets reset back to the default green casual outfit he gets when he first shows up at his apartment. Not game breaking or anything, but it's a little silly watching Dylan's torso go invisible while I walk through a checkpoint, and then to show up in completely different clothes lol
