Many of the sinking cut-scenes are out of place and do not match the game-play sinking. (e.g. Water breaks through the smoking room glass long before the water could have reached that point.) The game does not depict the gradual development of the sinking through game-play and and the ship's interior is consistently on a level plane.
A late animation depicts the first funnel collapsing. However, it is still shown to be intact afterwards.
When you look out the window in Cabin C-73 or the Café Parisien, you can see a number of icebergs out in the distance. These are not visible when you are on deck with a clear view.
The Third Officer on board the Titanic was Officer Pitman. The game's Officer Morrow is completely fictional.
In the game tour, Trask explains about the book Futility, which was written "in 1892, only 14 years ago." This fact is incorrect; Futility was written 14 years before the Titanic sailed, but in the year 1898, not 1892.
The control room in the stern did not exist.
In the beginning of the game, after the narrator finishes speaking, the "camera" pans around the Titanic. It zooms into some windows and then it enters a porthole of the main character's cabin, C-73, located on C Deck. C Deck is lowest deck on the white-painted part of the ship. Instead, the camera moves inside a porthole about two decks below, in the black-painted area - clearly making it near E or F Deck.
The game's ship interior was recreated with accuracy and research considered, and they look more authentic than recreations of the ship in previous film incarnations, but there still are many inconsistencies. Most of the first class public rooms are in fact based on those of Titanic's sister ship, Olympic. Several examples listed below.
The Smoking Room on A-deck is based on Olympic's during the 1920's (one can tell because of the floor tiling) except that Olympic's seating upholstery was green, not brown. Titanic's upholstery was red with blue and red floor tiles against mahogany paneling. This room also includes the painting "Approach to the New World" by Norman Wilkinson which was aboard Olympic while Titanic's was a painting of Plymouth Harbor.
The 1st Class Lounge is fairly accurate (both Titanic and Olympic's lounges looked relatively the same), it did not have mustard-colored paneling, in fact the color scheme was apparently green and gold carpeting and upholstery against light oak paneling.
The reception room's windows are incorrect, missing windows and French doors leading to the dining saloon (which wasn't created for the game). Also, the painting of nymphs at the foot of the landing is a painting from the Olympic, that would have been found on one grand staircase landing walls. What should have been used here was a French tapestry.
The 1st class corridors leading to staterooms did not have silk wallpaper and carpeting, or railings. Most of the staterooms are inaccurately depicted in an Old Dutch style, including for Eric Burn's cabin on C-deck using the layout of a B-deck cabin. Also, the real C-73 would have had white painted walls and mahogany wainscots.
The Wireless Room contains a window on the wall above the desk, which was a feature on the Olympic and not Titanic (the placement of the room is also wrong anyway, since it was located in the center of deck-house, not the port side).
The Turkish Bath is also from the Olympic since Titanic's had a completely different layout than the one in the game, which is based on promotional material and photographs of Olympic's Turkish Baths.

Sasha Barbicon's cabin A-14 is an inner cabin on A-deck, but mistakenly depicts a curtained window.
Many moments showing the flooding during the cut scenes demonstrate impossible physics and inconsistencies with the nature of the ship:
Water breaks through a smoking room window, apparently from flowing up the fourth funnel casing, that stained glass window was a back-lit decoration that would have no contact with the inner casing.
The grand staircase dome smashes at some point when the rest of the room is dry. In reality, this room would have been near, or completely flooded through the windows and lower decks before the dome caved. Later, the room is shown flooding, but now the torrent that crashed through the dome has strangely stopped.

If you have the subtitles on when you face Willi in the Squash Court and you beat him or lose to him, there is a spelling error in one of the words. The subtitles give you this error. He will say: "You fence well. You are a great athlete!" But, the subtitles say this: "You fence well. You are a great athelete!"
When you're looking at the Cargo Manifest, the shipping company says Lemke and Buechner. But, when you see Sasha with the crate in a photo taken by Burns or when you reach the crate, it says Lamke and Buechner.
The painting in the game by Adolf Hitler is The Courtyard of the Old Residency in Munich, painted in watercolor in 1914, two years after the event of the sinking.
The painting that you must obtain is a painting titled The Courtyard at the Old Residency in Munich. The painting didn't exist until 1914.
In your steamer trunk in C-73, if you look at the Secret Report, there's a map that includes Turkey as an independent nation. However, Turkey was still part of the Ottoman Empire at this point. A decade later, in 1922, the Ottoman Empire collapsed. The Republic of Turkey was established 1 year after that, in 1923.
