How do I report a bug?

  • Join the Skin Deep Discord server and write a report in the #skin-deep-bugreports channel. This is the best way for us to get back to you.
  • Or, use the in-game 'Report-a-bug' to write a report. This is in the main menu of the game.

General troubleshooting

These are various solutions that can sometimes resolve some graphical, crash, and performance issues.

1. Verify Steam Integrity

Verifying the integrity of your Steam files will ensure the game is installed correctly.
  1. In your Steam library, right-click on Skin Deep.
  2. Select: Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files

2. Update your video drivers

Outdated video drivers can sometimes resolve graphical/performance issues.

3. Ensure your computer is using its dedicated GPU

Some computers/laptops have two graphic chips. You'll want to ensure that the high-performance graphics chip is being used for the game.
  • This setting is usually accessed via the NVidia Control Panel or AMD Control Panel.
  • When you run Skin Deep and go to the Video Options menu, it will display which graphics chip is being used.

Where are the settings and savegame files?

These files are located in the roaming folder. To access it:
  1. Press Windows+R
  2. Paste in: %appdata%\skindeep
