It’s finally here! The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut title from Rebel Wolves and director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz’s first game since The Witcher 3, has arrived. While launch day is usually a time for celebration, many PC gamers are encountering some frustrating technical hiccups. Thankfully, the developers are aware of these issues and have provided temporary solutions to help players get their blood-sucking on.
Launch Day Troubles: Stuttering, Crashes, and Controller Quirks
One of the most common complaints revolves around stuttering when playing The Blood of Dawnwalker in windowed or borderless mode. The recommended fix? Simply switch to full-screen mode. Another reported issue involves the game crashing during shader compilation. For this, the developers suggest updating your BIOS – a link with helpful instructions is available from the team.
As is often the case with PC releases, The Blood of Dawnwalker lacks in-game button mapping options, particularly for PS5 controllers. The developers acknowledge this and state they are “already working on it.” In the meantime, players can try using mouse and keyboard controls or dust off an older gamepad. Finally, some users have reported that their character stops animating when changing direction with a gamepad. A temporary workaround involves lowering controller sensitivity from 1 to 0.8.
While these technical issues are undoubtedly frustrating, it’s important to remember that they are likely to be addressed in future patches. And let’s not forget the overwhelmingly positive reception The Blood of Dawnwalker has received. Mark Warren, for example, awarded the game the coveted RPS Bestest Bests badge of honour! Here’s what he had to say of the game”>had to say: “All in all, I’ve emerged from my first battle with Brencis with the belief that Dawnwalker’s thoroughly worthy of a seat at the table of elite modern RPGs alongside its CDPR-made cousins… It works to ensure the more busywork-esque tasks attached to angering Brencis and his Boyars never make Vale Sangora feel home to a string of boring boxes to tick.”
