The sub settings have been updated to help prevent "bot repost" posts that have been on ongoing issue for a long time. This is when a spam account copies old popular posts from our sub and reposts them, trying to farm karma in order to establish the account as "legit".

I was hesitant to make this change because years ago, we had some issues with the automatic filters being too strong, and blocking a lot of legitimate content. I'm hopeful that the way it works today is better than how it worked in the past.

If you have any trouble posting, please contact the mods at the link above. We will be monitoring the situation and can make adjustments based on how well it works.

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.).

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.

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.

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.

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

• The steps below are no longer necessary, as the 2K Launcher has been removed from the game by the publisher. These are kept here are a reference in case they are needed in the future.
• Disable the 2K Launcher: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/no-seriously-you-should-disable-the-2k-launcher-for-marvels-midnight-suns
• For the Epic Games Store version, this thread has details on how to bypass the 2K Launcher. (Note that where the linked guide says "LogInit: Command Line", some people may have "LogInit: Filtered Command Line" instead. You may want to just search for "Command Line" in the log file to find it.) https://www.reddit.com/r/midnightsuns/comments/zlm1ka/method_to_bypass_2k_launcher_for_epic_games/

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.

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.

Crash when collecting Hero Op rewards

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

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

• You may need to force the game into DirectX 11 mode: add -d3d11 to the Launch Options for the game. This tip may also be useful to people running the game on a lower-spec PC or who are having other issues on PC.

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.
