Thanks Wilco!

While I’m on the subject of being too lazy to read through all 700+ posts on this thread, is the first chapter as buggy as several “reviewers” have said on the game’s page at GOG? Has it been patched at all?

I don’t think it was very buggy, the main issue was the perfomance, even in high end systems the framerate dropped a lot in some areas. It was patched and much better by the time episode 2 was released.

There indeed was a huge issue with performance and the initial release lacked a lot of optimization, which has since been patched out. I’d reckon the performance will continue to improve after RT releases Unity 5 version of the game.

There has already been several patches. In fact RTG has been very quick with fixes and very responsive to bug reports and other issues (unlike some other companies I could mention).

But as Wilco said, the game wasn’t really very buggy to begin with, and it has mainly been a question of performance issues and graphical glitches. The performance is still not perfect but acceptable on most rigs, and it will most likely not improve further before they upgrade to Unity 5, as they have pretty much reached the limit to what can be done in Unity 4. Exactly when that will happen is unknown, but they will do it sooner or later.

Actually the way RTG managed the first episodes performance problems and slight bugs is for once a good reason for releasing an episodic game. By the time all episodes will have been released, the game is likely to be much less buggy and better optimized than a game that has just been released…

Nothing beats releasing a product into the wild to find bugs and performance issues (and an internal QA that really detects a lot of those issues is frighteningly expensive)

once a good reason for releasing an episodic game.

I am not a fan of episodic games, but episodic digital releases has allowed many adventure games to be released that would not have been released otherwise.

The ones I have bought into did indeed seem less buggy in later episodes.

I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.

When was the last time we saw him? Was he getting attacked by some mysterious presence *cough* brianwesthouseistheprophet *cough* in the big library place? Or am I misremembering? (I really should have replayed Dreamfall before starting Chapters.)

You are not misremembering anything, but that whole scene is wide open for interpretations *cough* darkpeoplethatdoesn’trememberAprilasawave *cough*, and we don’t actually see Crow in that scene, we only hear some flapping wings.

Yes or rather No, it is not a joke, but you are correct that we see Crow in the last chapter in Chapters - But before that the last we see, or actually we don’t see crow but hear flapping wings, is in the Dark People Library in Dreamfall when The White is attacked.
