Tested by DoesItPlay on PS5 Slim
Test Notes:
Brief stutter after fast travelling.
Occasional FPS dips for the initial moments after fast traveling.
Encountered several instances when interacting with certain objects in the base didn’t immediately cause the main character to approach it. Instead he seemed to look for the proper place to stand to activate the animation and was turning on the spot for a few seconds.
During act 2 our Botanist would disappear from the base and his location described under his avatar read “non module”. Restarting the game fixed this.
Encountered a crash during act 2 after leaving the game on for several hours. Potentially related to the Botanist disappearing.
Encountered several lines of subtitles that read a completely different text compared to the voice over during the call with Lucas about Ben.
Encountered two instances of missing facial animations during dialogue. In one instance, the spoken dialogue was not playing either for two sentences.
During act 2, the first planetary sample you can collect is invisible when you reach its location. You can still use the Luminator to “shoot” it and retrieve the sample.
On day 56 the game stopped saving progress correctly. Whenever a new save file was about to be created, the system prompted an error message. We beat act 2, but after relaunching the game, we found ourselves back at day 56, 3 days before the second magnetic storm in act 2. This bug can be caused by a variety of things, such as defeating too many anomalies or progressing in acts while certain tasks are still active (e.g., rebellions).
Content Completed:
All planetary samples, movies, collectibles and damaged chips found until the game-breaking bug.
Completed almost all side missions. Not sure if one of those missing triggered the bug.
Researched all base expansions and built 3 Rapidium arks.
