Until Dawn – How to Avoid the Menu Screen Soft-Lock

How to Avoid the Soft-Lock after Picking Up a Collectible (PC)

How to Make The Problem Happen

This game freeze happens often. It occurs when you press TAB to look at your collectibles or totems. We’re not sure if this affects console players. It usually happens when you press TAB after picking up an item or after a cutscene ends.

How to Avoid The Problem

There’s an easy way to avoid this game freeze. When you pick up an item or a cutscene ends, and you want to check your items or character relationships, do this:

• Press ESC to open the Pause Menu (Don’t use TAB at all).
• Choose “Statuses & Collectibles” from the menu.
• Look at your items without the game freezing.
• Profit!

This method isn’t perfect, but it’s better than having to close the game and start over.
