Fixes

Low FPS when trying to play with controller

 
Right click game > Properties > Controller > Disable Steam Input 
 

Game crashing after intro cutscene

 
Play in windowed mode and do not disable vsync in your graphics card settings. I had the performance mode off in settings also but I don’t know if that made a difference, I’m pretty sure it had to do with vsync being disabled and/or not being in windowed mode. After the time skip and you can save you can reenable full screen. I had issues with borderless so probably avoid that for now. 
 

Game physics are running fast

 
Cap your max framerate in your graphics card settings to 60 fps. 
 

Pulsing lighting

 
Disable performance mode or Ambient Occlusion 
 

Can’t close the game/Game crashed and can’t restart it

 
Restart steam 
 

NPC I need to talk to disappears

 
Enter a loading zone and come back. If you can’t you have to reload a save. I know it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks 
 
I’ll update with more stuff I find as I go along. ♥♥♥♥ you Square and fix your game
