Most recent version is really broken

Hi, 

I was really excited to try this and do a playthrough for some content and experience it - non stop bugs have just been plaguing my playthrough so far. Fatal crashes here and there are one thing - the others, I'll post below as potentially spoilery;

The arm I pick up - couldn't put it down, couldn't switch to the gun, couldn't interact with the body to snap the arm to it (which after having to look it up, realised this is what I'm meant to do but the game wouldn't let me). I carried on, holding an arm and going through the carriages - the game is then pitch black and darker and darker - I'm still holding the arm. Cannot open the menu, cannot switch to the handgun (to get the flashlight) and still cannot place the arm on the body, but I can't even find the body now because it's far too dark. 

I watched another playthrough from someone up to the point I got to and saw I was meant to be able to place the arm on the body. So I started from scratch and played through again - same issue persisted. Pick up the arm - cannot interact with the body at all. I saw some other comments on here about it and that you had fixed this in the most recent patch but maybe I'm unlucky or something - I don't know how to proceed as I really want to enjoy this game but was super disappointing :( 

High-end specs on PC: Win11, RTX 4090, 12900k CPU, 64gb DDR5 ram. Was getting roughly 60-70fps on 1440p as 4k was crashing too much and dipping around 50-60fps. Drivers are up to date. Just in case that info is useful for bug testing/replicating etc.

Hello. What fatal crashes have you encountered, exactly? Because that seems weird...

Also, nothing you've described is a bug. The bodyparts are meant to be placed by literally getting close to the body and placing them, no interaction is needed.

You are not able to open the menu or bring up the gun because that would bug it. You just need to place the bodypart and you're good.

Hope you give it another try, I'm sorry the experience was dissapointing to you!

God bless.

I mean I have recordings I can send - I've been right up against the body trying to connect the arm to the torso - I just re-downloaded the game, got right back to that part and the torso didn't even spawn this time because the guy who's arm falls off first time didn't spawn. This time, it was a leg on the chair in the next carriage which was the first item to spawn and then proceeding where the torso didn't spawn, the game ended up going pitch black again and this time had no where to place it. 

Fatal crashes - it just freezes and pops up with a box saying Fatal error occurred and then just click to close the game - twice loading between the carriage doors, 3 times just mid walking through the carriage. Didn't have that since I redownloaded it, but this time the torso didn't appear. 

I will try it again for a 3rd time now and see - I really want to keep playing and experience it because I was having such a blast to begin with but yeah seems like I'm super unlucky with it... Could I have missed something that makes the torso not spawn? The radio announcements have been fine, the people in the carriage have been fine, everything lines up but the first time I couldn't attach to the torso, second time torso wasn't even there where it should have been and it 'skipped' me to a new bit where there was a locked drawer but I couldn't do anything because I was stuck holding a limb I couldn't put down.

I saw there's a way to sprint by shift+c at the beginning? This doesn't work either - I was hoping I could speed it up to get to the place where I left off but I've just been walking through.

Yeah the torso spawns after interacting with the TV.

Just to update - redownloaded and tried it again from the start for a 3rd time - everything managed to work this time. Not sure why some things before were triggering in a different order or not triggering at all but glad to play through it fully in the end and really enjoyed it - well done and looking forward to the final product! Feel like I was just really unlucky with it initially but glad I persisted.

I'm really glad to hear that, man. I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Sorry for the bugs and stuff, I know that sucks... :/

Hope I can fix all of them. The fatal crashes are really weird though, there shouldn't be anything to cause them. But I guess that's just the risk you take when making games in Unreal haha. But the engine is amazing, so I guess it balances out.
