• Missing DLL or Black Screen on Launch: Install both vc_redist.x64.exe and vc_redist.x86.exe, update your GPU drivers, and add the game folder to your Windows Defender exclusion list so real-time scanning does not quarantine game binaries.
• Controller & Steam Deck Compatibility: OCTOPATH TRAVELER can be added as a Non-Steam Game using Proton GE on SteamOS/Linux, with Steam Input enabled for automatic gamepad mapping.
