Latest Returnal Patch Escalates Crashes, Door Issues

Multiple reports have surfaced stating more frequent Returnal game crashes, and "door" issues after the latest (May 3) patch.

Paleblood1119d ago

I finished the game yesterday. Is not that difficult when you keep going and get used to it. Now I have to get the sun faces on order to get the final extended ending but I will wait until this situation is fixed.

One of the best games I have played. Truly remarkable.

Nitrowolf21119d ago (Edited 1119d ago )

The second act IMO is loads easier than the first, despite it having less teleporters (in my run) manage to clear the second act with a breeze and “beat” the game.

Re ran act one and it’s a breeze also now

stupidusername1119d ago (Edited 1119d ago )

Agreed. I had 5 tries on the first act, but cleared act 2 on the first try. Act 3 had me demolished though.

Edit: Disregard my comment. I thought acts meant biomes. I haven't really gotten far it seems, haha.

gamingtext20201119d ago

I’m about 14 hrs in right now, and I haven’t experienced one crash yet.

gamesftw2501119d ago

Same here, wonder if it was just a select few.

DaGR8JIBRALTAR1119d ago

I haven't either but I have experienced doors not opening.

PLAYWATCH761118d ago

The game crashed every time in the opening cut scene right before the gameplay starts, where she gets off the ground and the camera gets behind her right shoulder. Every freaking time. I have not experienced any gameplay because of this. I returned the game on May 2nd. I will wait until it's all sorted out.

ArchangelMike1119d ago

Yeah I can confirmt that I didn't have a single crach until the latest patch. Now doors won't open, teleporters won't work etc. Also the item drops seem to have... bugged or frozen, I'm just not getting drops from items. I didnt have any of these problems prior to the patch, and have made it to the second boss a few times.

excaliburps1119d ago

Yikes. Sorry to hear that. Doors hopefully not an issue though.

Vanfernal1118d ago

Are you using the pre-order suits? There's belief that the dlc suits are what's causing the door glitch. I ran into the lockdown glitch before, changed to the default suit and so far it hasn't happened. You might wanna try that until there's an official fix.

ArchangelMike1118d ago

Thanks man. Yeah, I was actually usung the DLC suits. In fact each time I died I swapped to a different suit. I stopped using the DLC suits and no I haven't have a single crash or bug since.

Tacoboto1119d ago

No crashes here yet - except the cutscene I keep skipping through since I suck so much. Loving this game, surely whatever issues are from this patch will get fixed up quickly.

MetroidFREAK211119d ago

I guess I'll pick it back up after a patch is released to fix the crashes. I'm not risking my system even though I love the game

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC42d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier42d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k442d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8542d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga42d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS741d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto42d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies42d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Abear2142d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS741d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast42d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo42d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.

Some solid choices but i feel they're late to the party. I'm subscriptioned out like most people.

vTuro2457d ago

This made me check out the current month and holy crap it's actually a great bundle. It's unfortunate that Saints Row is among them but the Nioh 2 and Afterimage make it worth it. I think I'll probably grab it and give away Saints Crap.
