[PS4/XB1] Dev Update on Interaction Bug

Some AAA devs take literally months to fix problems, and they have massive funds and many staff…not two people. To say this is worse than Cyberpunk or Fallout 76 is hyperbole.

The certification process is not an excuse.

Ok. Let’s try this again.

@Sam @Clare

Can we get some kinda update?

4 days since we heard anything from @Sam.

12 days now game has been broke.

@Clare I know you trying to keep up with everything and keep community together, but I think what would help EVERYONE is common curiosity from the team with some updates and information. Everyone is trying to stay together but when you sitting in the dark for days with nothing and only seeing workarounds from the community is very frustrating…

I understand it takes time to fix, QA , test , and get approval to ship out… I DO… But the not knowing anything I think is hurting the whole community, and it starting to show. These forum’s get worse by the minute.

I’m really not sure what’s left to know? We know they’re working on it. We know what causes it. Aren’t we just waiting for Sony and MS to give this the green light?

I think everyone just wants to know where we are at in this long waiting process… it’s been nearly two weeks of being broken and no word for 4 days now… an update at the least would be nice

Also when I was playing I visited 3 diffrent island and haven’t seen a single BUOY anywhere on island or wrecked ships. Are they that rare? Or there in the mix of the problem.
Hah. At this point I am biting my nails on my feet waiting for any good news… (praying)

Can’t you just release the previous update back out? If this is gonna take over two weeks to fix one single bug it would make the rest of us happy to at least be able to play the game once more. I’m not even sure why there was a coop mode added to the game. It’s like wanting to coop on skyrim or something silly like that.

I keep seeing posts like this. What is left to know? Dev’s figured out the interaction issue has to do with snakes. They’ve fixed it and need approval from Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo before the patch can be pushed out to consoles. We just gotta wait it out. Nothing more can be done.

Okay so this forum is a bit of a joke if anyone even close to complains they just get there comments removed what a joke people. Have every rite to be super upset going on 2 weeks and it is unplayable it doesn’t matter if it cost a $1 or $20 the fact that 1000s paid for it and cannot play I’m so tired of hearing “it takes time” the update should have been throughly tested before being released these bugs happen litteraly hours after the update dropped really disappointing

See the internet carte Blanche isn’t your space to complain, some people seem to be mistakenly under that impression. If you want to report a bug, ask a legitimate question, help recreate an issue, and so on, this is the place for that (under the appropriate section) the internet is often divided into purposes. If you want to complain, I hear Facebook is really good for that. Forums for a game developer on the other hand…if anything is a joke it’s that haha.

Mate, there’s only 2 developers I get that regardless of price the product should work but even AAA games with hundreds of devs and full price have issues (insert dozens of examples here) its not like they’re building stardew valley here and this bug happens randomly some get it days after playing others hours into it so even testing would have been inconclusive so instead of “it takes time” how about be patient.

You internet warriors crack me up the absolute moral supremacy you must feel to tell people where they can voice a opion is amazing to top it off with the fact that Clara or whatever said she didn’t want bugs reported here

Doesn’t matter if it was a dwarf and a chicken if it had been tested this bug would have been found before it was released this is why every game comes so a hot mess now because people like you have this attitude yes some games have bugs duh but how many have you payed for that flat out cannot be played then get refused a refund people are upset because they enjoy the game and sorry your feelings get hurt but tough

I understand people are upset I am to i set aside time to play this game with my wife when this update released, we enjoy it and currently it’s unplayable but the devs know of the issue 1 week later and are working on getting it to us.

Also it’s not an attitude or my feelings being hurt I’m simply making a statement pulling out the “because of people like you” line to throw blame doesn’t change the state games get released in, sorry your unhappy but tough.

They should’ve known about the issue before they released it. Instead they pushed it without even testing it. It’s not just that but it’s not even the coop that people wanted. No one wants split screen game play that ■■■■ was old in the Playstation one days. Nothing in the game accounts for two people playing for that matter. Are the maps bigger? No. Are there more resources? Nope. Is the difficulty ramped up? Nopers. Does the aggressive wildlife account for two players? No. This was an update that no one wanted and screwed everyone’s game up. A simple testing with the community would have fixed this all. Some feedback would have been given about the coop and the bug would’ve been found before they released the update. You give too much credit because you think on wow, only 2 developers created this game. Just a little bit of thought would have negated all this.

I love this game and I do give props for indie game developers creating such a beautiful game. I enjoy every aspect of the game. But this is too far. There are people who given 1k hours into the game and more just to have it wrecked but a silly a bug. I’m just a few hundred hours in and still haven’t experienced everything the game has to offer. I’m a slow gamer and like to dilly dally around to enjoy more of the content. I do hope they learn from this mistake and take the advice the community has given. Test the updates, allow the community to test it, then listen to feedback.

This was an update that no one wanted

I don’t think that this is a true statement. It seemed to be the most requested feature. Certainly one me and my other half were desperate for.

A simple testing with the community would have fixed this all.

There was closed door community testing. I’m sure they wouldn’t have released the patch had this issue occurred during those sessions. Sometimes, these things just happen.

Nothing in the game accounts for two people playing for that matter. Are the maps bigger? No. Are there more resources? Nope. Is the difficulty ramped up? Nopers. Does the aggressive wildlife account for two players? No

It is harder with two, you’re sharing resources such as food, bandages, drink etc. Dividing it out although I do agree that there are some balance issues that I’m certain would have been addressed, but this was a major rollout so you have to expect issues.

@Clare and @Sam,

As a YouTube content creator, I’ve been covering Stranded Deep for some time now.

I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful beautiful amazing game. Thank you for jumping all over the fix for this patch tweak and thank you for all your regular updates and hard work. I personally really appreciate how much you put into this for us. Please ignore the negative minority. Your core community will be here to support you and this game regardless.

Couldn’t agree more. They have the last versions stored, so this should’ve been done already.
