tell me how to download the save to a USB flash drive so that it does not get deleted during the update
@Sam from Beam Team,
Thank you guys for finally addressing the issue. I have watched this thread since it’s creation as I absolutely love the game and can’t wait to continue playing, but have not created an account to post til now.
I can understand how frustrating this must be as developers and I’m sure you all have been working on it since the break. Kudos also to @Clare for having to sift through the posts which can range from neurotic to outright ridiculous. Gotta love the internet. I think if people had more patience, they’d understand what a meticulous process it is to track down the cause of the problem and fix it. Ironically, probably 90% of people posting on here have played LA Noire.
I hope this update and further updates will be able to fix the problems for everyone. This game is a gem.
Just…thanks for addressing the problem and that you are working to a solution, Sam.

When should we expect the update?
Also, will we need to start a new game, or the update will fix the no-interation bug on previous saved games?
I got the update on PS4 and it didn’t seem to do anything I still can’t interact with anything this is very frustrating I really like the game but not being able to play I may have to switch to another survival but ile hang around for now haven’t uninstalled it yet
Seed #23331930
Multiplayer
Console PS4
@deepsurvival420 Read the post from the dev. That was a scheduled update that was put in place before coop was added and things broke. They have the fix and are going through steps to test and get it approved for roll out. That will take time but it’s in the works. Patience is a virtue!

Thank you @Sam for the update and information. It’s good to hear that things are on the right path, and the light at the end of the tunnel can be seen. I patiently, but eagerly, await the update and fix.
This game is my methamphetamine, I just can’t quit it lol
And, no, for those of u thinking I use drugs, I don’t. Clean as a whistle. It’s just a figure of speech

Ok, back to sonysoft burocracy, I hope it don’t take too long. I know is off topic but I think is a little relevant: Terraria 1.4 for update was release last month, after the submission the devs posted on twitter and it took a good chunk of days before it was released. Untill recently I didn’t knew that the submission process is so time consuming and that is a scale outside of devs hands.
As I said last week, lets be patient.
A polished delayed content is always better than a worse rushed one (creator of Mario said something like this)

Same issues here Claire. Taking my time advancing the game, looting ships and what not. About 15-20 days in the game goes to the pot. Can’t harvest resources. Cant interact with anything. This happened on two different games as I restarted thinking the save file was corrupted.
I also lost my life raft. Floated off to sea I think. You’d be a saint if you could gps that puppy.
Not being able to interact with an item seems to be related to repeated character elevation change. On and off the raft, in out of the ocean, or on and off rocks on the island. It is almost like your character does not return to the usual resting space or “0” for the island. Once items have been deactivated, you can interact with items after squatting or getting below an item. Hope this helps
I’ve managed to work around the bug on my 290 game day file so far. I luckily had most things on the sand on my main temp home base except my tent, clay brick station, boiler, cloth station, etc. I can still use the stations to make things but had to create a new tent & fire right down by the water. The main thing that’s a pain is having to use a fire to cook food one at a time and that the food doesn’t smoke so doesn’t last as long. That and making sure that my Uber huge garden doesn’t die out lol. I made a new resource gathering island that is the absolutely lowest elevation I could get. I tried to make it so the island was as much sand as possible (to help indicate the low elevation) and to try and get the yukka, palm trees & mini palms on the sand. I included a bunch of ships to get lots of containers to try and get food rations to supplement the food difficulties with the bug. So far it’s worked well. I still get the bug on anything higher than beach level, rafts are way more tippy, the UV is extremely brutal so try to spend the daytime in the water, and my food & water levels seem to decrease way more quickly but at least I’ve been able to still get by playing :). I’d be really, really sad if the fix wipes out my save so I’m crossing my fingers that doesn’t happen and using the bug to farm clay so I can build my super house 
.
It does for me. I am on 3rd Island going back to my Starter island and on the sea when It lags/changes the island squares thats when interaction button drop down and everything goes poop.
Please see Sam’s posts above for more information. There is also a post here I’ll keep updating on the issue - [Known Issue][PS4/XB1] Loss of interactions
If you experience other issues, please do not report them here, create a seperate bug report, I will not be following up on other issues in this thread.
You’re welcome to keep posting your experience of the interaction issue here, but the team are working on a fix.
Clare, when should we expect to get the fix?
She probably doesnt know. I think even the devs dont know
But they could give us an estimate. I mean, is it gonna be a few days, a few weeks, a few months?
The bug appeared 07:53. I play on PS4 and it seems that when the bug appeared it was raining. I don’t know if that is important but you mentioned any environmental changes. It looks like that I can only interact with wood, trunks and stones, but only in certain positions.
Here’s the footage.
I know I’m late to the party; I’ve been lurking and didn’t have anything constructive to share - until now. Playing on PS4 I’ve noticed that I seem to consistently trigger the glitch during the 1st storm after fishing, subsequent to exploring a new island and/or ship. In my case, having successfully played a new game for several hours following the last update; explored a new island - no glitch. Explored a new ship - no glitch. Returned to my base island saved, and slept - no glitch. Went fishing for breakfast - no glitch. Dumped my catch by my smoker, and went to water my farm plots - no glitch. Filled my coconut and watered my crops, and a stormed started. Went to refill my coconut only to find out the glitch had been triggered. No snakes observed at all during this playthrough. I hope this helps. Love the game, have been playing since we used to catch water in buckets as a water source lol
