[PS4/XB1] Dev Update on Interaction Bug

The frustration is rather simple and understood. The delivery is perhaps in question.

I believe this is what the ‘frustrated crowd’ would like answered…and it has not been answered.

’ Why can’t they revert the game back to the previous version and fix this on THEIR time? Why is it being left and fixed on MY time?’

ps4, I have turned off animals, entered game and saved and also quit to main menu then returned to game and still no interaction bug is there, I have tried all work arounds and nothing works at all

may I ask what it is that you re-created to make the bug happen? maybe we can avoid the bug by not doing something?

I just had the same problem, I reapplied the solution and it really worked for me. I would not know if it is luck

I understand the frustration. It’s the delivery that is upsetting to me. The question of why can’t it revert back while they fix it has already been answered as well. If you have a hard copy it can be done in one way or another but with digital copies like most of us have it can’t be because the updates replace and merge with past data. Reverting it back to 1.07 would likely erase anything you’ve done in 1.08 especially if you have coop saves because coop didn’t exist until 1.08. The process to revert back could take possibly as long because they have to approve that through first parties and pick the earliest slot which who knows when that could be. And they would have to run tests on what would happen if they did revert. You have to keep in mind that going back to 1.07 could corrupt any coop saves because it didn’t exist in 1.07 and cause outrage in an entirely different way. Even if it didn’t delete/corrupt coop saves it could still render them unplayable due to the fact that 1.07 doesn’t have those capabilities. I hope this helps.

If you knew about coding you would understand how the process is when it comes to getting bugs worked out and patched, it will take some time to find out the code in which was implemented that is causing the glitches , you can’t just revert back to the original version either it is a lot more complicated than that. Just let the devs do their job it’s better to get it right the first time and take their time instead of rushing and causing further delays and or more bugs.

Hi here is a simple fix while in the main menu go to options----general-----animals put settings on removed if you do this before you start your game you will be able to do any the only thing is you don have the giant crabs snakes or boars in the game but the hogs will still be there and you can still go fishing at least this way you’ll be able to interact with everything else on any Island I’ve tried it I’ve been playing for 3 hours straight and I haven’t had any interaction issues the developers know what the problem are this is an easy fix for you to be able to play I hope this helps I’m on PS4 and it’s been working just fine for me as long as you do what I said

Hi devs, 3 days since your last update and unable to play at all till it’s fixed. Can you please provide an update with even your best guess ETA? Do I forget about this game for 2 months? Or do I forget for 2 days? What ball park do you hope to have it fixed by please?

PS I did the workaround already, got a few more games days out of it but broke again and workaround no longer helps.

So in the meantime what are we supposed to do about the interaction bug

Turn animals off - not ideal - but apparently that works.

I’ve done some tidy up on the posts above. Please keep your posts civil, respectful and on topic. As a reminder the rules and guidelines are here - Rules and Guidelines - Stranded Deep - if you see an issue, flag it and I will review it.

I would rather not lock this post but if it continues to be derailed or require tidy up I will have to.

For those who haven’t seen it, I am updating my own whenever I recieve information from the team. It’s a big thread but I upate the top post so you don’t need to read down through all the comments - [Known Issue][PS4/XB1] Loss of interactions

Hi I see some people had a update already I know it’s not the interaction patch but I would like to know if the update is releasing in all countries and if yes how long before it come to Africa.?

I think there may be a misunderstanding here… To be clear, players are not prohibited from posting if they cannot speak english. It is simply part of the guidelines that we ask players to include their own 1:1 translation if they are posting in their prefered language. This helps the forums to run smoothly, the reasons are given in the guidelines. I add in translations for the other mods where they can see them.

Players can forget (I understand, it happens) or may not know of the request yet, so I add the translation myself and post a copy of the section of the guidelines for them. Replies with translations, while appreciated if other players wish to help (and they have in other threads) can be separated by comments and lost so it’s best it’s kept within the one comment.

I hope that helps to clear that up.

All games have glitches. Even though this game was released in 2015 and released on xbox one a year ago, glitches has always existed. The issue people are having is even with glitches the game was playable. Now it isn’t. And reverting it back to single player till the issues can be resolved isn’t as hard as what you want to make it sound. It’s had to be done on ark, sea of thieves, and a couple of other games to correct issues.

1.07 ? Europe region is on 1.07 so would need to go 1.06 or whatever. I started playing after Co-op was introduced and the version I see is 1.07 if it’s co-op problem in the first place.

This temp fix been already introduced but it’s not a solid one. Example for me it only worked ONCE and couple days later when the Bug attacked again I tried it and it does NOT work for me the second time sadly…

Correct. I would like that to happen.

Reverting a game back to another build would mean Sony and MS certifying that change, which would take as long as just updating the game.

Not if they did it at the beginning like thier entire player base suggested. These devs are literally the slowest to ever roll out an update that i have ever seen in gaming. There is no excuse at this point.
