Narcosis bugs: Game crashes, flare gun not centered, and more

Narcosis is a horror survival game that will send shivers down your spine. The game takes players to the sunless depths of the Pacific Ocean. As a player, you take on the role of an industrial diver stranded on the seafloor with low light and few tools at your disposal. You need to surface before your oxygen and sanity give out. Narcosis also comes with a VR mode that highlights the hostile environment the game is set in.

Unfortunately, Narcosis is affected by a few technical issues that sometimes limit the gaming experience, as players report.

Flare gun aims off-center

The flare gun’s aiming reticle is not very well centered, forcing players to turn their heads in order to get a center shot.

when I try to use the flare gun, the aiming reticle is very far to the left. I acutally had to turn my head away and look out the corner of my eye to hit the targets in the training pool.

Game crashes

Players also report the game randomly crashes. It appears that the crashes are prevalent for the level “Follow the procedure”.

Hi. My game keeps crashing […] I can walk in any direction for 4-7 minutes and then it simply crashes (it happened at least 5 times already). I’m playing on Win7 X64 on a GTX980.
