Welcome to the release day of The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut game from Rebel Wolves and the first new title from director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz since The Witcher 3. While many may be celebrating this big release, some PC players are experiencing issues that dampen the excitement. Thankfully, the developers have provided some temporary solutions to help get you back into the game.
The most common issue is stuttering when playing in windowed or borderless mode. To address this, the developers suggest playing the game in full screen instead of windowed or borderless mode.
Another reported problem is the game crashing during shader compilation. In this case, the developers recommend updating your BIOS, which can be found [here](https://t.co/8Bk08Ns4FD).
Additionally, there is no option for button mapping, specifically for PlayStation 5 controllers. The developers have admitted they are already working on this feature, so in the meantime, you may consider using mouse and keyboard controls or a different controller you have on hand.
Lastly, there is an issue where the game stops responding when changing directions on a gamepad. To temporarily resolve this, the developers advise lowering your controller sensitivity from 1 to 0.8.
Despite these issues, the developers remain confident in the game's quality and award it the RPS Bestest Bests badge of honor. Mark Warren, in particular, praised the game, stating, "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." So, while there are a few technical hiccups, it seems that many fans are still willing to overlook them in favor of a great RPG experience.
