Capcom has warned Resident Evil 4 Remake players that a rare game-breaking bug was found at the beginning of Chapter 12 that could halt your progress if you attack with a knife right after obtaining an important item.
Capcom shared the news on Twitter, says that the issue affects players on all platforms, and that it “plans to fix this issue in a future update and apologizes for any inconvenience.” Fortunately, the fix will allow players affected by this bug to continue their current save.
As for the bug itself, Capcom detailed what it is and how to avoid it in a non-disclosure manner;
Capcom writes: “A cutscene will appear at the beginning of Chapter 12, after which the player will receive an important item. “Please do not attack with a knife until the message to receive this item is displayed in the upper right of the screen.
“Once the item is obtained, it will appear in the Important Items & Treasures menu in the accessory box. If it has not appeared, please reload the saved data from before starting Chapter 12.”
