Community Bug Report Update 3.20

We are working around the clock to bring you a patch in the coming days that fixes performance issues and a large number of reported bugs across all platforms. Our goal is to provide a quality patch that addresses many needs at once and is thus taking us a few extra days to perfect. Once the patch drops several performance issues you may have experienced will decrease significantly and the game will be enjoyed more fully by many more users. In the meantime, some of the most common reports are below.

Common Reports and Workarounds

“I can’t burrow or water-dash!” Please make sure you have acquired the Dash ability in Kwolok’s Hollow, or burrow and water-dash will not work.

“The sound buzzes/stutters a lot!” A few workarounds while we fix this issue is to install your game on an SSD and disable antivirus real-time scanning for the game. This fixes a lot of issues for some but not guaranteed. A fix is coming for this one.

“I can’t remap some of my buttons!” This is a known issue and will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

“I beat the game and didn’t get some of the end-game achievements!” Also a known issue and will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

“I can’t get rid of this quest/rumor even though I did it already!” This is a known issue and will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

“I’m stuck behind a door!” We are aware of a small number of instances where you are stuck from progressing in the game. While we work on these issues, please read below on how to load a backup save.

Thank you for your continued patience!

We also understand there are a number of softlocks, i.e., when Ori gets stuck somewhere and you cannot progress through the game, and while we work on their fixes, the best workaround would be to use a backup save.
