As we expressed in our last update, we had hoped you would all have a flawless first-time experience with Life is Strange: True Colors, and for those of you who wish these fixes were coming sooner, we completely understand. Please know that all issues must be investigated, re-produced, and understood before fixes can be worked on (this is exactly why your reporting, information and feedback has been so helpful!)

Once issues are fixed, they still need to be tested by our QA teams to make sure they aren’t creating any unexpected new issues, then approved by the platforms, before finally bringing them to you, which is why everything unfortunately won’t be fixed in a matter of days.

In the meantime, please continue to share your information with us. In order to help us better understand certain issues, please be sure to include the following in any bug or crash reports:

• Console/Windows OS Version:
• Description of the issue: What were you doing in the lead up to the issue? Exactly what happened? The more detail, the better! A picture or video is really helpful.
• Are you able to consistently reproduce the issue? [Yes / No]
• In-Game Language/Region: (e.g. German/Germany)
• CPU Model:
• GPU Model:
• RAM:

If you are crashing on PC, please consider getting in touch with Square's support team at sqex.to/support as they will potentially be able to use your DxDiag files for crash diagnosis.

We’ll be back with another update to keep you apprised of progress next week. Rest assured, we are working hard to improve your experience.

The Life is Strange Team.
