I just had this happen to me again. It seems there is a bug that makes the islands fail to render properly on Xbox or the PC version. If you kill yourself or try to use a mermaid, it crashes the game. I was curious if anyone else has had this happen to them. Both times I was doing an Athena Quest, so I wonder if it happens if you have been playing for around 3hours or so. I already submitted a bug for the first time it happened.
Games sometimes fails to render islands
It's good that you reported it. Our game was SO slow yesterday. There was lag everywhere. And while sailing in the middle of nowhere, we kept getting pop-ups saying we arrived at 3 islands at the same time, from 3 different regions. Game was more confused than ever yesterday.
It's too bad because their latest 'bug fix' update seems to have made everything way worse than it was.
@sdbman it happened to me last night/this morning at 4:00 am....and was doing the guilded gold hoarders quest....finished the first map but when was almost finished with the second map and pulling up to Ancient Spire Outpost this very thing happened...i jumped off the boat with my first chest and went under the island and couldnt come up....it was not rendered and crashed....I had 8 captains chests on baord! when i was finally able to log back into the game....the guilded gifts quests were locked....soooo disappointed :(
Yea, that's usually happend me on PLUNDER VALLEY and the SFX and videoeffects is gone sometimes....which is hilarious to see as you can't see wether you're getting shot with cannons or anything.
I reported this but yea nothing happends so i'll guess its a problem from my side even if my PC is powerful af.It happens to me very occasionally, yesterday we were on a particularly poor server it seemed because we were rubber banding all over the place. Usually it ends up with Outposts looking a bit like this....
Interesting. I'd say it's probably something with the game and not our computers or Xboxes. I also wonder if the server is part of the issue. The first time I was trying to sell an Athena's chest and couldn't do it because of the bug. This last time I hadn't gotten to that chest yet so it wasn't as big of a deal. I still got to sell lots of stuff both times, but it's still disappointing.
The funny thing is, it does seem to happen only sometimes because I have been able to play for more then 3 hours without any problems. That's why I wonder if its a server issue. Also I have yet to find any in-game remedy like you all. It seems like the only thing you can do is quit the game and reload. And the fact that it happened both on my Xbox and PC makes me think its something with the game code.
@sdbman add it to the list of "fixed" bugs that still happen. Not saying that to be mean to the devs, they do a good job of making the bugs much less frequent but there have been multiple that have been noted as "fixed" in the patch notes that I have still experienced even afterwards.
My first mate and I have noticed this when dropping the rowboat and starting the turn towards the island in the row boat. Only to see nothing there, or one thing like a tree that is from the island. Very frustrating and breaks immersion. Thankfully, it doesn't happen all that often. But still, something that needs to be looked at.
@xcalypt0x Dang that sucks. I haven't had it happen too often thankfully, but I am a little worried about doing my gilded quest if the game bugs out again.
