What launch players report
Crashes, camera behavior around large enemies, and limited mouse-and-keyboard remapping appear repeatedly in launch coverage. Steam labels the game “Gamepad Recommended,” with full controller support and DualSense/DualShock support.
A stable first setup
- Install to an SSD with more than 50 GB free for updates.
- Update the GPU driver and restart before the first long run.
- Use a controller until current patch notes confirm the input options you need.
- Cap frame rate if the GPU is sustaining near-maximum load during effects-heavy fights.
- Lower effects before texture quality when boss tells are becoming hard to read.
If the game crashes
Verify Steam files, remove overlays one at a time, return overclocks to stock, and reproduce the problem with a frame cap. Then check official support and recent patch notes. Avoid copying launch-day fixes forever—the current version may make old workarounds harmful.
