Officially acknowledged investigations
Cannot pick up or interact with items
Cold Iron asks affected players to report the item, mission and location, whether they were host or client, and what happened immediately beforehand. Reloading, swapping weapons, or repeatedly pressing interact remain unconfirmed community workarounds.
Doors, keybindings, Queen rewards, and stability
The studio explicitly lists these issue families among its immediate priorities. Check Mission Issues for mission-specific evidence boundaries.

Community reports still needing confirmation
Stutter and low FPS
Steam and Reddit include both severe complaints and players reporting acceptable performance. No single cause or universal fix is established. Follow the measurement-first guide.
Post-mission rewards or loading
One launch discussion reports missing rewards and a stuck return flow. Patch 1 separately fixes some achievements and DLC entitlement, but that does not prove this broader report is fixed.
Host departure rollback
A commenter reports progress rolling back to a checkpoint after the host leaves. We found no official universal reconnect or host-migration specification.
Linux / Proton cinematics
Users report color bars or hangs around early cinematics. The proposed conversion workaround changes installed media and is not published here as a safe official fix.
