Fields of Mistria Troubleshooting Guide
Update to v1.0.2, test a clean client without Mods, back up saves, then verify Steam files before reporting a reproducible issue.
Direct answer
When Fields of Mistria lags, crashes, or shows broken text, confirm Steam has finished the v1.0.2 update and reproduce the problem with every Mod disabled. If the clean client works, restore Mods one at a time. If it still fails, back up the save, verify Steam files, and send the version, system, steps, and logs or screenshots to the right official or Mod-author channel.

Run the three quick checks
Open Steam Downloads and confirm the v1.0.2 update has finished, then fully exit and relaunch the client. A half-installed patch can make an old symptom look like a new regression.
Next, disable every Mod, including cosmetic or dependency-only packages, and reproduce the same action in a test save. Do not repeatedly overwrite the only copy of a valuable save.
Find a Mod conflict safely
If the clean client works, restore Mods one at a time and test the same location or action after each change. A Mod in the list does not prove that it supports the current engine or patch.
Record each Mod version, dependency, install date, and recent update. Remove the newest or recently changed package first when a previously stable save starts failing.
Verify files and protect saves
If the issue remains without Mods, back up the save outside the game folder, then use Steam's file-integrity verification. Verification can repair game files, but it cannot undo third-party data already written into a save.
After the check, test the title screen, a clean save, the affected old save, and a normal exit in that order. This narrows the failing step before you reinstall anything.
What to include in a report
Include the game version, operating system, hardware, Mod state, save location, exact trigger steps, frequency, and logs or screenshots. Mention the date, quest state, and area when the issue involves a festival, task, or character.
Do not upload account credentials or the only copy of a save. Keep a reproducible copy and a safe backup while waiting for an official or Mod-author response.
Frame drops, overlays, and minimum specs
The current patch includes overlay-performance fixes, but recording tools, browser overlays, resolution, drivers, and background programs can still affect frame rate. Compare the same location in a clean client before changing several settings at once.
The Steam reference lists Windows 10, 6 GB RAM, GTX 460 or Radeon R7 240, and 2 GB available storage as minimum guidance; the live store page remains the final check because later builds can change performance.
