Crashes, joining, and windows
Some stuck states have a patch note. Others, including a generic not-responding window, do not. Those stay marked as general PC advice.
| What you see | Where it is discussed | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Black screen joining a friend | Steam news 1.35, 4 Feb 2026 | Update past that patch and use Lobby. |
| Items gone after a load | Steam news 1.5, 9 Aug 2026 | The post says the save rewrite fixed it. |
| Hideout upgrade always unlocked | Steam news 1.58, 19 Sep 2026 | Update to that post or later. |
| Door interaction makes noise | Steam thread and Yoshitomi | Long-press E for the quiet door action. This does not establish that a window alarm is disabled. |
| Window has a security alarm | Naguide lock and Texas station guides, separate single-source details | The lock guide describes a glass cutter with down, right, down. The station guide describes window-alarm keypads. Neither establishes a universal window-entry fix. |
| Open window still cannot be entered | No reliable cause or fix in the reviewed sources | Record the location and build for a support report. Do not assume a quiet-door action resolves blocked window entry. |
| Gas brings the police | Steam thread | Read the alarm flag on the truck computer first. |
| Not responding, no note | No official post found | Verify files and update the GPU driver. That is general advice, not a studio fix. |
An in-world window or security keypad is a different issue from the application freezing. The Texas guide documents window-alarm panels, not a keypad that shocks the player. Use the codes guide for password locations. For a frozen application, the file and driver checks above are general PC advice, not a confirmed fix for this game.
