Choose the failing stage: launching the game, preserving a save, operating a tool or completing a visible objective. Reported symptoms remain distinct from verified fixes.
Startup and rendering
A slow first load, a black screen and a crash after several minutes are different cases. Keep the actual failure stage before trying the documented renderer choice.
Sources:
Save and recovery
Preserve the complete save folder before comparing local/Cloud copies or trying recovery. A prior reliability patch does not guarantee repair of a damaged state.
Sources:
Factory and objective blockers
Identify the first failed handoff and distinguish it from a progression prerequisite. Do not apply a Pipe percentage theory to a physically clogged spawn tube.

Evidence and verification limits
Source retrieval confirms what a source says, not a new in-game replay. Patch notes retain their version; community observations retain their limitations.
