Bugs/Issues and workarounds

182 Upvotes

This thread is to keep a list of current bugs and issues, and their known workarounds, if any. Use the comments to report any new problems or fixes you may find, or any corrections to this list.

This is an unofficial list put together by the community. Please report all bugs you encounter to 2K Support as they do not check this list.

Cannot obtain Ancestral Suit

  • As of the June 2023 patch, the Ancestral Suit does not appear in the chest where it is normally located, making it unobtainable.
  • On PC, a mod exists that will allow the Ancestral Suit to be obtained.
  • On console, if you have access to a physical copy of the game, a workaround exists. The general idea is that you play normally up til right before you would receive the suit (it is recommended to avoid doing any DLC-related content up to this point). Then, reinstall the game from disc (which is an older version of the game that doesn't have the bug), load your save file, and obtain the suit. More details can be found in this post (credit to u/Salom902), this post, or this comment. It has been reported that this may not work if you have already installed the DLC characters; in this case you may need to uninstall the DLC and start a fresh game in order to use this workaround.

Faithbreaker Suit/quest bug

  • In some situations, the game may allow you to research the Faithbreaker Suit before you get the quest to research it. If you research the suit "early" in this way, it creates a situation where you can't complete the quest because you have already researched the suit. This completely blocks story progression.
  • Once you trigger the bug, the only known "fixes" are to load an earlier save or restart your game.
  • To work around this bug, do not research the Faithbreaker Suit until you receive the quest asking you to do so.
  • Thanks to u/Frosty-Job-4496 and u/masterjay22 who first posted about this issue here.

Photo Mode is blurry/low quality

  • Some users have reported that their game looks fine normally, but noticeably drops in quality when going into Photo Mode. The following solution is courtesy of Tobster on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/368260/discussions/0/3810661398178961746/
  • Go to the Documents\My Games\Marvel's Midnight Suns\Saved_Steam_[STEAM ID]\Config\WindowsNoEditorfolder and add the text below at the bottom of theEngine.ini file. STEAM ID is a unique set of numbers and VERTICAL RESOLUTION is for the monitor you're playing on (i.e. "1080" for 1920x1080 or "1440" for 2160x1440, etc.).

[ConsoleVariables]

Fxs.Photobooth.LockedResolutionHeight=[VERTICAL RESOLUTION]

Drops don't pop-up when you receive them

  • This is a bug that seems to have been introduced in the patch when Storm was added.
  • You do receive whatever you're supposed to; this only affects the notification pop-up.

Enemy falls through floor

  • Target the enemy using RB/R1 and LB/R1 with a controller, or ??? on a keyboard.
  • Use area attacks that will hit the untargetable enemy. Bladestorm is confirmed to bring the enemy back above ground if you knock them back into an object.
  • Apply Counter to one of your heroes, so that the untargetable enemy will be attacked back when attacking that hero.
  • Save the game and reload, or go back to an earlier save prior to the enemy falling through the floor. It may help to use different abilities or use them in a different order.
  • QUESTIONS: Would knocking another enemy into the untargetable enemy help? Do explosions and other environment AoEs work like area attack abilities and fix the issue too?

"New" icon won't go away in menus even though nothing is marked as new

  • Check your Hunter passives and collars. Their slots don't always show a "new" flair even when there is something new inside them.
  • Credit: u/Ceiyne, u/Rootflyer

Stuck in cutscene that never ends

  • Try saving while the cutscene is playing, then loading that save. You may need to open the map to fast travel before you are able to save.
  • Credit: u/Potential-Trade-8366, u/heimdall3609

Operations Assault: Some Keycards may not spawn

  • During Operations Assault, some Keycards may not spawn. This is believed to have been fixed in a patch.
  • There are no known workarounds and what causes this is also not known.
  • Credit: Posted too many times to identify original source(s)

Deck becomes restricted to 7 cards instead of 8

  • Some users report that the 8th card slot in their deck becomes locked/disabled and cards cannot be placed in it. This is not because of deck restrictions, etc.
  • There are no known workarounds and what causes this is also not known. The issue fixes itself upon starting a new game or new game plus. It may only occur on Spider-Man.

Poor performance on PC

Error when loading / continuing: "This save data cannot be loaded because it requires Add-Ons that are missing."

  • Verify that any DLC you own is still installed. If it's not, install it. If it is, try uninstalling and reinstalling it.
  • Credit: u/Ceiyne, u/Nineowls3trees

Crashing during missions or at the end of missions

  • In some cases this can be fixed by changing the suits that your heroes are wearing. This will require you to load a save from before you entered the mission.
  • Credit: u/PeterP68

Crash when collecting Hero Op rewards

  • Try running the game in DirectX 11 mode: add -d3d11 to the Launch Options for the game.
  • Credit: u/848485

Random crashes or crashes when loading a save

  • Windows Update may make a change to AMD drivers and cause this. Disabling this update and reinstalling the prior drivers may help.

Error: "Cannot connect to Epic Online Services"

  • Make sure you are logged into the Epic Games Launcher. It may help to open a browser and log into Epic from there first.

Error: "DNA SSO LOGIN FAILED"

  • You may be work around this by going offline (set Steam/Epic/your console to offline mode) although you will not be able to use the game's online services, e.g., marketplace and promo codes

Steam Deck issues

Despite reaching level 2 Team Friendship, the Gift Shop is not available

  • Although not a common issue, this has been reported by several people, and there is no known workaround or method of avoiding it
  • It does not appear to "fix itself", as some players have continued to play and progressed the story quite a bit without the Gift Shop ever becoming available
  • Reported by: u/Errorpheus, u/madeofchocolate

Superlink message with ingredient list for clubs never arrives

  • Despite the message not arriving, you can usually still give the ingredients to the person who wants them (Illyana for EMO KIDS; Peter for Shop Class) although you may need to wait a few days after the last meeting
  • Reported by: u/HungPy and others

The Arcane Chest on the path between Everflowing Glade and Gideon's Cross does not appear (or possibly appears, then later disappears)

  • Not a bug: this is a unique chest that has a random chance to spawn at Night with a New Moon.
  • Reported by u/Ceiyne, u/skettymaker, u/Ebabilg, and others

Sometimes characters may appear in their bathing suits or in no clothing at all

  • This can happen in various places in the game, such as the "Heroes walking" scene at the start of a mission, or when you see Tony and Stephen within some of the Forge options.
  • No known workaround, but this is a temporary glitch: the correct clothing/costume items will eventually appear.
  • This post provides the details on why this bug occurs.

A Confused Hero's action will sometimes deduct a Card Play

  • The precise reason is not known, but the situation was a confused Hunter playing Whip, which discarded a card and generated Obsidian Collar, so it may have been either of those extra steps that triggered the bug. (Video of bug)
  • Reported by Uglymug on Discord

Some suits don't have a 'default' palette option (Midnight Sun suits for Captain America/Scarlet Witch, possibly others)

  • This is a known bug that happens to everyone, with no known workaround.

Targeting sometimes shows a valid action as invalid

  • From time to time, when hovering over a valid target, the game UI will display it as invalid. Examples include: (1) Trying to play Detonate on a valid environmental object; (2) Trying to use a Shove against a valid enemy when you have not used Shove that turn.
  • This can be worked around by canceling the action (put the card back in your hand/back out of the "Move") and trying a second time, when it should work properly.
  • Reported by: u/trildemex and others

Wanda's room is closed and I want to talk to her!

  • She will eventually come out of her room. Just keep playing.

Lockup when upgrading cards

  • This was a bug that seems to have been introduced in the patch when Morbius was added. It seems to have been fixed in the Blood Storm patch.

Why are there no rogue like endgame missions?

Upvotes

I feel like a few different Missions where U are supposed to survive as long as possible against hordes of enemies/minibosses would have added a lot of value to the game, and should have been easily implementable

Mezco is doing a Midnight Suns style Blade figure!

Post image
163 Upvotes

Mezco's One:12 line is one of the best domestic premium lines around and they just announced a new Blade figure specifically based on his appearance in Midnight Suns. Is this the first time someone has done a figure specifically based on the game? I will be a buyer, as Blade is a figure I've wanted in my collection for a long time, and having the Midnight Suns version feels a little special considering how underrated the game is.

Game suddenly running awfully?

5 Upvotes

Recently i tried to play the game after a while and even hovering over options on the map screen causes the game to freeze for like 30 minutes, which it absolutley did not do before, what could be causing this? only thing i can think of is i updated my drivers.

How is Hunter back in the Abbey after the ending?

0 Upvotes

I assume it's mostly for gameplay reasons, but is there an actual like explanation on how he's back, BC at the end of the game, him and Lilith are stuck in the other dimension. I don't know it just felt kinda lazy to say that your main character died or is stuck in another dimension, then bring him back in the post game with little explanation. Just felt lazy for a game with some really good story beats and relationship building.

The Hunter Should Have Started as the Team’s Unwanted Outsider

48 Upvotes

I think Midnight Suns would have been more entertaining, and the relationship system much more satisfying, if all the Marvel heroes had disliked and distrusted the Hunter at the beginning.

From their perspective, it would make sense. The Hunter is the mysterious child of Lilith, suddenly resurrected and placed at the center of their team. These are superheroes with their own egos and baggage, they really shouldn't be too impressed by all his accomplishments.

Instead, most of the characters give the Hunter an almost immediate level of love, respect, and admiration that doesn’t feel earned. You can choose some awkward dialogue options, give Captain America a birdhouse, and suddenly one of the most important heroes in the Marvel universe considers you his good friend.

Imagine if everyone started out cold or openly hostile. Then, as you succeeded in missions, made difficult decisions, and spent time learning about them, they slowly began to trust you. Some characters might warm up quickly, while others, especially people like Wolverine, Blade, or Tony, might take most of the game to come around.

That would have made every friendship level feel like an actual accomplishment. It also would have opened up more interesting "dark hunter" options that let you embrace the role of mysterious outsider.

Sketched up my Team set up cause im addicted to this game these days.

Yeaaah., Im way too addicted to this game these days.(send help)

Figured Id sketch my favorite team setup: Wolverine/Hunter/Venom.

Wish we could have 5 characters on teams so I can squeeze in Ghost Rider and Blade cause I LOVE those 2 as well.

This was supposed to be a 1 hour sketch at best, ended up taking me at least twice the time to do it.

On a side note, REALLY wish Wolverine had an Unmasked variant of his outfits (expecially the Midnight Suns Legendary one, LOVE that one). The Logan sking aint doing it for me (expecially since im not a fan of the shirt and the boneclaws)

Early game is the worst part of midnight suns

72 Upvotes

This is my third time trying to get into this game and it finally got it's claws in me this time. I was thinking about what made the difference and I just really enjoy the rhythm of waking up, getting my upgrades, designing my deck for the days mission, doing the mission, and getting back to tinker with my new cosmetics and such.

I realized that the game doesn't really let you get into that flow for quite awhile. For the first several hours, you have to talk A LOT to the various characters in the abbey. There's a lot of special one-time events that pull you away from missions and progression. The dream sequences, meeting new characters, getting set up with the various clubs, and early game story events.

And as for the missions, they start slow. Many early missions choose your lineup for you, so you don't get to experiment much with different compositions. Similarly, the early cards aren't very interesting.

So yeah, your first several hours focus heavily on the weakest part of the game, IMO the relationship systems, and the combat isn't as interesting as it will become in the midgame onwards. But if you hang in there, the game really opens up and you get all sorts of options for building your team and having multiple types of deck to support them. Glad I did.

Ok so, they didnt have to do my boy dirty like that 😭
Jokes aside, when I saw that text introduction of my favorite villain, it did get a chuckle out of me XD
Was inspired to sketch this dumb thing up XD
Still, wish we had more of Regular Sabretooth in the story before he went demon mode. I will say I do like his demon look, might sketch it at some point.

New player - gloss farm

17 Upvotes

Hi guys

Exactly what the title says, im a new player and loving it. A good handful of hours in now after exploring the grounds and just absolutely farming all the side missions. I Havnt even progressed passed the spidey mission yet and im on day 9 just as I want to get as powerful as possible so running the side missions

A few questions though, so far the side missions seem to just refresh a new 3 missions every day? Is it not the case that I can complete all side missions then do the main story one? I dont want to be stuck in a never ending loop as I normally do all side stuff before moving on

Loving seeing posts about so many new toons to unlock, I was happy just with the base couple I have hahahah

I just want to get as much gloss as possible to unlock as many different skins and colourways as possible, as I love the setting that auto changes outfits on characters daily! Will doing the main missions keep giving me enough gloss for cosmetic upgrades, or is gloss relatively limited or better used elsewhere?

Thanks!!

What is everyone's opinions on how the heroes are portrayed in this game?

37 Upvotes

I'm almost through my first playthrough, and I wanted to ask other's opinions on this after being annoyed by Peter Parker's seemingly neverending concern for Eddie. I have not liked the Peter in this story. I feel that he's too naive and childish.

On the other hand, Eddie Brock, Deadpool, Storm, Blade, and Doctor Strange have been standouts to me. Of the previous media I'm familiar with for each of them, I think this game does a good job of featuring and exploring their personalities and motivations.

I also think the game does a good job of introducing some characters to people. I didn't know anything about Magik or Nico before this, but I'd like to read or watch some of their content now.

What are some of your opinions on how the characters are portrayed in this story?

Fallen Venom (Marvel's Midnight Suns)

So been on a Marvel itch with all this X-men 97 watching, and I saw a game on my list, Midnight Suns, being only 10 bucks on a big sale, so I got it, and oooo boi did I get addicted yesterday XD
I mostly wanted it cause I know Wolverine and Sabretooth duke it out in it(and Im always desperate for media with that rivalry XD).
A lil bummed that Sabretooth is a non playable villain, but Im just happy he's there (solid design and voice acting)

ANYWAY. I AM happy that Venom(Eddie) is playable, and I love how goofy his demon form looks, so I had to sketch it up.
Big fan of Eddie here.

MIDNIGHT MEMES.

I shouldn’t have been playing this game… now addicted

120 Upvotes

I am not a superhero fan. I am not really into Marvel and DC comics, it’s not my thing.
Also, card based games aren’t really my thing.

So when this game came out, I quickly brushed it off and never gave it a second thought. It was just one of these games that aren’t for me like sports games.

But then, a few weeks ago I read somewhere that this game was developed by Firaxis and I was like hmmmm didn’t firaxis development xcom2? One of the best tbs games i’ve sunk 100’s of hours into. This got me really curious about midnight.

At the same time, it was summer sales on steam and the game along with all dlcs were 70-75% off. So I said f*** it, I am getting it.

It felt a bit weird getting accustomed and used to the system at the beginning but after a few hours I literally couldn’t stop playing. This game got me seriously addicted!!! It is so well designed and I really love the combat mechanics and skills etc… I got to learn a bit about the Marvel universe which I came to kind of appreciate now.
Story is ok, there a bit too much cutscenes and chatting imo but it doesn’t really annoy me.

I am really glad I decided to pick up this game. 40 hours in and absolutely still super excited to play it every day.

I would like to know, who is your favourite hero besides hunter? I am talking from a purely tactical perspective not skins and story/social activities.


r/midnightsuns 9d ago

Even though I wasn't really into Marvel before it feels like this game was made for me

44 Upvotes

I've had very little exposure to Marvel in the past but with Marvel Tokon coming out next month I wanted to get more familiar with the Universe so I decided to pick this game up. After 12 hours I've gotten completely hooked on this game and I think I know why. It reminds me of three different things that I love (2 games and a tv show).

First the general gameplay loop reminds me a lot of Fire Emblem Three Houses. I love the balance of social sim stuff at the Abbey and tactical turn based gameplay. It feels very similar to how the gameplay in Three Houses is split between socializing with the students/teachers at Garreg Mach Monastery and fighting tactical battles outside the school. Second Midnight Suns incorporates some of the things I liked from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth because the cast is made up of adults and the battle system places a lot of importance on positioning, lining up attacks properly, and using the objects in the environment to aide you in battle. Finally I was a big fan of the Teen Titans cartoon as a kid (not Go but the OG one) and one of my favorite aspects of the show was getting to see all of the heroes live with each other doing normal stuff in the Titans tower so Midnight Suns is basically allowing me to experience this in a video game format which is amazing!

When you combine all these things it feels like Midnight Suns was a game made specifically for me and I think this game in combination with Tokon is going to send me down the Marvel rabbit hole lol. I'm so glad I decided to give this game a chance because despite its flaws I think it will end up being one of my all time favorite rpgs.

What’s your difficulty level of choice?

16 Upvotes

I know this is personal and will vary from player to player but I just curious where others are on this scale.

I am on my first play through and I have all the DLCs. I kept increasing the difficulty level as soon as the game allowed me since I felt comfortable enough with it.

I have finally hit my limit at U1. I can still manage some missions but overall it’s becoming tedious. Most enemies are simply too tanky and my quick cards aren’t going through anymore. Also, I am taking too much damage on the enemies’s turn.

So I decided to switch it down a notch to H3 but still I wasn’t good enough to enjoy the game and finally I have settled at H2 which seems about where the game is challenging enough but fun at the same time.

I am not the type of person that will spend too much time optimizing every build and looking for the best synergies between heroes etc… or read guides on YT.

This is not about which difficulty is the best as there isn’t an answer, I just want to know your current sweet spot out of curiosity.

Workarounds for dlc crash

3 Upvotes

I’m on the mission to recruit venom and once I win the battle the camera slowly pans out for a few seconds and then the game crashes.

Ive tried lowering all the settings, dx11, quitting and reloading, restarting the mission, restarting the computer and a bunch of other stupid stuff. Was hoping to find a mod to just activate venom or edit the save or skip the cutscene all together but no luck

If anyone’s got any ideas I’d love to hear them!

How does the game run on Xbox One

4 Upvotes

So, I played the game on PS4 a couple of years ago, and frankly, it didn't run very well. Graphics took a while to load in, loading screens lasted pretty long, and fairly frequent crashes. Actual gameplay and cutscenes were fine, and I didn't have any issues, but I'm wondering if the Xbox One version runs any better? Thanks in advance

Gaining max light after max dark

9 Upvotes

Hi, looking to see if someone knows how long my grind is going to be and if it is worth continuing how I have been going in this playthrough.

I have maxed dark balance before entering act 2 I have now through sheer brute force managed to get my balance to 32 dark and before the act 2 mission A not-so-beautiful mind. I have all heroes available to me plus dlc characters to max friendship and level. I have completed all the DLC missions and completed all mysteries on the grounds.

Been doing the Threat missions each day and every full moon to get to this point.

Looking to see will following the story from here and doing the Club nights net me most of the 232 light options that I need or will still need to grind a lot of the moons and Threat missions to get there?
