Important Notice about Bugs & Crashes
Shadows on the Vatican - Act I: Greed Patch Notes — November 21, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
about bugs & crashes
We continue to receive reports of apparently random and non-reproducible crashes affecting, in particular, the HD versions of Acts I and II of Shadows on the Vatican. Over time, we have released several updates in an attempt to resolve these issues; they, however, do not appear to have solved the problems for good.
Unfortunately, the titles were developed using a game engine (the Wintermute Engine) that is no longer maintained. Despite our efforts, we have not yet been able to identify a technical solution capable of fully resolving the problem.
We therefore recommend that anyone who still wishes to play these episodes save their progress frequently (preferably using multiple slots) and, should a crash occur, reload a previous save. The system also features two automatic save slots, which may prove useful in these situations.
As an alternative, we suggest running Acts I and II in their SD version, which, as far as we know, is considerably more stable.
We apologize to all customers and players for the inconvenience caused. Rest assured that we're continuing to work toward identifying and implementing a definitive solution to these technical issues, and we hope to provide further updates as soon as possible.
