Game-breaking bugs

[Holty]

I'm currently encountering some severe bugs which are rendering the game practically unplayable.

 

I'm attempting to play the A Hero's Epic arc using the Ouroboros flashback system and have completed three missions so far.

 

At the end of the first mission, after defeating the EB/AV, the game glitched badly—the screen shrank to a small box in the corner against a blue-grey background. All UI elements became unresponsive: I couldn't click anything, type text, or use shortcuts. No mission exit button appeared (not that it'd be clickable anyway), and the only workaround was to switch to windowed mode and forcibly close the game. The exact same issue occurred at the end of the second mission, requiring the same process to exit and restart. During the third mission, the glitching started immediately at the outset but resolved itself after about a minute—however, the same problem reappeared once the mission ended. This is making the game frustrating to play. If there are any known solutions or workarounds, I’d appreciate any guidance. I’m not sure if this is a problem with the arc itself or something else, but these issues only started when I began this specific flashback arc and they occur in both full-screen and windowed mode.

 

Please find attached two screenshots to illustrate what's happening.

are you using any... optimized.. hacks, mods, or other?

Badge Set List + Vidiotmaps. I’ve played a ton today—including several task forces—with no issues at all before these missions. Whatever’s happening seems to have started suddenly and is seemingly specific to these particular missions. It's also the first time I've ever used the Ouro flashback system—might be a coincidence, but worth mentioning.

EDIT: I’ve tried uninstalling both Vidiotmaps and Badge Set List, but to no avail — the game still goes haywire with major glitches upon starting mission four. Frustrating.

Identified the issue — the in-game graphics setting was set to Performance. When I set it to Recommended, Quality or Ultra, mission four starts sans any problems — success! But as soon as I set it back to Performance, everything glitches out badly. Really strange. So from hereon, I’ll stick with Recommended. However, Performance worked perfectly for hundreds of hours of gameplay. Only these particular missions — perhaps Ouro flashback content in general, since this is my first time trying it — seem to be incompatible. Odd.
