A serious bug! A critical item is missing!
The infected are displaying incorrectly, causing them to become invisible, and most are unable to attack the protagonist.
Also, dropped items disappear instantly when the interact button is pressed.
I tolerated these bugs until I reached Chapter 10. Suddenly, a crucial item for advancing the main quest also disappeared!!! I need batteries to open doors, but I can't find any batteries in their locations!!! (The bugs of missing infected and dropped items continuing to occur)
I searched for related issues and discovered that this bug has existed for several years and hasn't been fixed! And I'm using an SSD, yet I still encountered this problem.
Reloading save files and restarting the game didn't work; these problems reappear after a while.
I also tried verifying file integrity on Steam, but that didn't work either.
Recreating all game files or reinstalling the game (shaders, saves, etc.) didn't work either, or the problems still reappear later.
Reinstalling Windows and hardware drivers didn't work either!!!
It's clearly a problem with the game's scripts!!! I am extremely angry because I paid for the game, but it's riddled with serious bugs and unplayable.
The game is now just a spacewalk observation video.
EA, I implore you to fix this problem and give us players a belated response, as this issue has existed for several years.
