I'm 8 hours in and somehow I got a glitch that basically won't let me move around. Every time I try to move Death just moves in different directions or doesn't want to move in the direction I want and it looks like there are invisible walls when doing so. And when I jump he just floats above ground and doesn't want to move at all! Like I got stuck in some textures and he can't get out but in trying so all of this happens. It's really hard to describe but if you've encountered it while playing then you'll know what I'm talking about.

Any advice? I tried everything (I think). Changing graphics settings, loading game, using fast travel (happens everywhere except for when I'm swimming), talking with other characters. I'm really angry because I don't want to start over, like I said, I'm 8 hours in.

Edit: Here's the videos of what happens.

Edit 2: Problem solved thanks to Darkemis. Turns out I had to re-install the game.

Try verifying game cache in Steam.

Done. 1 file downloaded and when I started the game it took me to the previous save. Which was the save I got right after it happened <sigh> so nothing changes.

Which OS do you use ? If you use any Win OS before 8, you can revert back a save file by restoring save file location to an older date.

Also check "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Darksiders 2\Debug Saves" folder, if there is a file there it might help you debug your save.

I can't think of anything else, if nothing works check Steam forums I'm sure someone had the same bug.

The debug save folder is empty.

Also, I can't restore any files because when I click "previous versions/backup" or whatever it's called in English the list is empty. I don't think I have the backup option turned on in Windows.

Well I can't think of anything else, but if that'd make you happy GAME IS REALLY GOD DAMN REPETITIVE.I gave up playing after 17h and it's the same gameplay since the last 15 hours.Really not worth to play, most repetitive H&S ever.

You can try to find a save file that is close to your point in game, I guess it's your best option right now.

I don't mind. I'm 8 hours in and I'm loving it. It's a great game IMO.

"Previous"? This game doesn't offer such luxury, unfortunately. You just enter the game, choose the slot for save and it loads it (last location you were in). I found a solution for people that JUST got that glitch and then quit the game. The game actually saves two last saves on your PC but unfortunately when I got this I tried to fast travel to fix it and it made another save, overwriting the first one so I got stuck with saves in which my game's messed up.

Turns out even enemies are moving not in the way they want to lol, they're just "thrown" from one place into another. My game broke as fuck. Devs are IDIOTS to a) not let make multiple saves b) not fix such bugs c) not make "unstuck" command d) any other solutions that could have been implemented. I don't think I'm gonna go back to this one even though it's an amazing game all around. Maybe in a few years.

Yea, game is pretty fucked up, luckily, those game breaking bugs are rare happenings, but one common and frustrating bug happens during the boss fight with Samael

Have you tried using in-game fast travel system? Maybe it'll unstuck your character, just open the map and select area to which you want to travel to. Worth a try until there's actual solution.

EDIT: Also would you mind starting a new game or do you prefer to save current progress?

Ah sorry, overlooked fast travel and jumped right on text in parentheses.
Do you have any means of shooting a short clip of issue? I've never heard or probably saw what you describe and would like to see it for possible troubleshooting.

Can you try playing without controller or if you're not using one, try playing with it. Also to rule out possible save corruption try starting a new game and see how character behaves there.

OH SHIT! I started a new game on a completely new profile and it's the same! Something in the game files must have broke. I'm going to delete the game and download it again. Of course I'll copy my save files. Then I'll start new game and see if everything came back to normal. If so then I'm going to copy my latest saves there and we'll see what'll happen then.

Yep it might be issue with game files, however if it happens again, try to run game with or without controller to see how it behaves but don't swap while in game as it won't apply settings, exit then remove or add controller and run the game again.
Also a long shot but it might work, try running it in compatibility mode with admin rights or remove compatibility if you selected it before.

After re-installing the game it works like a cham! :) So I guess some files got corrupted or messed up. I'm so happy I can continue playing lol. Thanks again man!

Yeah, I loved the first one and this one is even better (aside from the main character, I liked War more).

I like them both honestly and I hope Nordic Games will continue the series and not deviate from it much if they decide to continue. I can't wait to hear some news for sequels.
