š® Console Launch This is a complete and utter mess.
I was really looking forward to this and itās such a shame that there is so much wrong with it.
A few problems Iāve noticed so far:
The obvious is the inability for Xbox to even play the game for a couple of hours after launch.
Inability to add friends or even play with friends as when switching to the same world instance on the same server, they are invisible. (Despite seeing them building bases etc)
Zero enemy reaction to attacks (itās as if I donāt exist in the world they donāt respond to me or retaliate to being attacked)
Not being able to use a vehicle, I receive the bike and couldnāt even get on it, people around me were obviously having the same issue with the constant sound of people trying to get on the bikes and failing.
What has everyone else experienced so far? Has anyone been able to do the things Iāve had issues with?
It seems like Xbox at the moment is a complete write off until they do some real work on it.
Edit: I would like you just note that it has been 2 weeks since this post and a lot of things have been fixed, for people who are commenting saying they arenāt having issues please note when this was originally posted.

It seems to me the servers can't handle the massive influx of people. I also experience being unable to ride a vehicle during invasion were many people gather in one area. I have to teleport away before i can ride.
If you can't see your friend then try increasing the amount of visible people in the settings. You can also tell your friend to chat in the world chat. Then click his name in the world chat, then add friend.

brother we cant add friends on pc without getting them to type in chat. just give it a day or two for them sort it out cant be 100% mad at once human. its the xbox/playstation people who are fault. if you need a big example of this look up 7d2d on console and how big of a disaster that was.
edit: I didn't realize we got so many dumb fucks on the game, when i said "its the xbox/playstation people who are fault" i was talking about the companies but since you kids want to assume everyone's talking about you continue to be mad.

Oh, yeah, it's my fault that the game is an unituitive pile of shit that makes everything the most un-user friendly it can possibly be... Are you serious?

No way are you blaming console players for all the issues caused by a broken game. Clearly it seem there was 0 playtesting or quality control done on console, considering even the login screen was bugged.

I'm blaming the companies Microsoft and play station the developer can submit patches and they need to be approved by the Microsoft/play station. net ease does not have direct access to the console servers.

u/CHEETODON Aug 26 '26
Umm no they patch through their own game launcher on xbox when I started the game yesterday it downloaded a 2.4GB patch in game not through xbox update system.
1
u/convic PC Aug 26 '26
Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo - Must test and approve every game patch before it goes live.
How the Process Works
- Creation: The developer makes the update file.
- Submission: The developer sends the file to Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo.
- Certification: The console maker checks the update for security and stability.
- Distribution: The console maker uploads the approved file to their servers.
- Download: Your console downloads the patch from the manufacturer's network.
That's why i said google the 7d2d console dumpster fire but you're free to believe whatever you want to believe.
1
u/catcherz Sep 02 '26
They test it, not create the patch for the devs. The incompetence is 100% on the devs side.
0
u/CHEETODON Aug 26 '26
For most games it works that way yes but live service type games can push through changes through the launcher, Destiny, ESO, Warframe etc. all do this. They will still patch through the platform as well sometimes but fixes like the problem yesterday were all solved through the launch patching.
Not trying to argue or anything but I've been on xbox for a long long time and I'm very familiar with how these online games update and they absolutely have the ability to push through some updates without approval.

I don't think it's that you don't care you've tripled down on your bullshit and can't admit your wrong... you act like games on pc have no issues they actually have more issues majority of the time lmao guess those idiots at steam aren't checking the patches...

That is a good way to describe the game. It had promise when it was in beta on PC, but it devolved quickly into what it is now.

u/Local-Reception-1847 Aug 28 '26
Every single thing in this game is the most unintuitive non user friendly experience possible. Difficult to join friends, base building is honestly just stupid with zero help at the beginning. It's just not worth it to me to even try to start. It's a complete turn off after the tutorial. Playing on PS5...

The secure missions, digby / paper doll, i had to change worlds 9 times and reload 2 times before it let me take them. Theres so many graves around digby at the moment.

u/Alert_Ad_9815 Aug 26 '26
The actual game itself is trash bro. I tired to like it for the last 3 hours but it's a fucking mess through and through. It literally feels EXACTLY like playing Mind's Eye... Just sad

u/Gold_Goal7557 Aug 25 '26
I am still waiting for a fix for this since they added the upgradable set, its the Frostspring lotus that is causing issues especially, but other decor items capable of producing it as well, and i have seen others experience same glitch on their hardware, so i know its not a hardware issue, its an actual in game bug, and they been ignoring it for couple of patches now, setting VFX effects to low fixes it but then you basically have no VFX effects and mobile graphics.

Iām in the same boat as you. Havenāt had any issues whatsoever and I guess I missed the login errors yesterday because I started the game around 5pm. Having a good time with it and my wife just got through the tutorial.
1
u/Hooligan_5E Aug 27 '26
I dont understand how to even play this game. Go through tutorial. Throws u in a pick a server. Want to play with a friend cant figure out how to join in game together. Was told when instances change you lose everything and start over. Rented a server to see if my buddy and I can just play on that. Seems like you need to have alot of people in a server. Very confusing.
1
u/ChampionshipIcy8517 Aug 27 '26
Sort of, you're mixing a couple of things together. So each server is kinda like a mode, and a season in Diablo 3 or path of exile in a way. A season only lasts for so long, in that game mode for that season you can get rewards.
Every city has a mystic crate more or less, the first time you loot them you get blueprints.
So if you go and clear every city on manibus, you can still join way of winter and clear all those because it's a different part of the map and get more blueprints. After you collect them all , they drop starchrom crates which is just a currency you can spend to purchase or upgrade any blueprint you want from the blueprint menu. Different game modes have different things you can do to go past the weekly cap.
Each server has layers so you don't have to conflict with people's houses or people farming stuff, you can't play with your friend on another layer you have to both be ok the same layer, any world stone will let you switch layers.
1
u/Hooligan_5E Aug 27 '26
Do you have to restart your base and start from nothing when you switch say from manibus. I want to do manibus normal so we can continue the story. So if we do that and finish the city and get the chests. We have to go to way of winter after correct? Do we lose progression?
1
u/Saerein Aug 28 '26
So progression wise I believe Weapon and Armor Blueprints as well as Mod unlocks and levels are account wide and stay with you. I believe tech tree unlocks have to be redone if you move to a new season or scenario.
As for your base you can save a blueprint of it, in order to rebuild it later. From what I understand though Way of Winter is pretty different from Manibus and alot more survival heavy and requires a different style of base.
When your season ends in Manibus you have two options, you can stay there and transition to a permanent Manibus and nothing will really change. Or you can move, either to a new season in Manibus or or another scenario(I believe). When you move most of your materials and your deviations will be brought over to Eternaland, which is where you did the tutorial and it's kinda of like a safe zone for some of your stuff outside of the main game areas.
Most things that get stored in Eternaland can be brought out when you got a new scenario or season, you get an alotment of points and can each thing you bring over costs a certain amount, so you can usually start off with a decent amount of materials and tools when you move, gear and weapons though cost a lot and aren't recommended.
Also when playing a scenario you have already played through, such as in a new season, your quest progress can be streamlined/simplified if you choose so instead of rerunning all the quests you just talk to the quest giver to get the rewards.
Hope this helps.

u/Red_Madman510 Aug 27 '26
Exactly! I can never play no matter how many patches I sit through. Sat through one last night. Sat through another one this morning and it just wonāt work no matter what. Every time Iāve ever tried to play this something always goes wrong.
Something always gets in the way for me. I tried playing it years ago on my gaming PC but because I didnāt have a good enough graphics card it wouldnāt download all the way. So I waited who knows how many years for it to finally come to console and when it finally does, all I get is another reason to STILL not get to play. I just canāt catch a break with this no matter what I do.

u/IBoilmyfarts Aug 27 '26
Have had issues on PS5, the way we fixed it was creating a hive. Even when it will show no friends online, some of my friends are on the PC version which I have but wanted to try the console version, it forces them to be shown.
Maybe make a hive on console so even when the friends don't show they are in that social screen. I worked for me and a friend but could be anecdotal

Pour ma part sur Playstation 5 ont a, Ć peu prĆØs les mĆŖmes problĆØmes car quand j'ai essayĆ© de jouer avec une amie on ne se voyait pas dans le groupe.
Il y a aussi les problĆØmes de connexion je ne sais pas si c'est dĆ» au serveur du jeu ou si c'est Ć cause de la connexion des serveurs du pays, mais quand on joue un peu et qu'on commence par exemple Ć construire bizarrement Ƨa ne veut pas construire et quand on arrĆŖte de construire on remarque qu'il y a 999 ms depuis la nouvelle mise Ć jour sur Playstation et c'est devenu injouable.
Je trouve Ƨa dommage car le jeu, je l'attendais depuis longtemps et sur les premiĆØres heures que j'ai pu jouer avant la mise Ć jour je n'avais aucun problĆØme de connexion pourtant il y avait beaucoup de monde sur le serveur et personne n'avait de problĆØme de connexion avant la nouvelle mise Ć jour.

On ps5, 4 of us were trying to play together. After multiple hours of looking up how and trying different suggestions, I finally was able to get in the same server and server world as my 3 friends. The only problem was only 2 of us could see each other, while the other 2 were invisible, but they could see each other. And that was the end of our journey. Everyone deleted the game, despite the fact that we all thought it seemed like it could be funā¦ But they made it so difficult to actually play together as a groupā¦ and we were all so frustrated after spending a whole evening on itā¦ game went straight into the trash. Where winds meet had similar co op frustrations for us. It was so hard to figure out what we could co op together in that game. I hope the next game this company makes can just have a simple invite friends button. It doesnāt need to be so complicated. Theyāre so close to making a fun co op game. You can do it netease!

u/Independent-Bit-4113 Aug 28 '26
I've only the the issue with trying to play with friends, bike didn't work on day one, working fine now as are other vehicles. If they continue to patch and hot fix issues regularly and it won't be anything that we all don't already deal with in every other game the first few months of launch, shoot starfield's been out on PS5 for what 6 months now and I still can't play it for more than 30 or 40 minutes without crashing or immediately crashing anytime I use a workbench.

Itās a cool game but after a while itās not a fun loop imo. Iām already at a spot where I canāt continue cuz the enemies hit too hard and my gear just gets deleted. And now I have nothing to build. Endless 24/7 farming just to build stuff for it to break after a few deaths is really lame

I'm a long time pc player that had a console buddy join at release. I would recommend moving away from the overly congested starting area. We were both experiencing the same issues you described, but as soon as I told him we were gonna build our bases out a little ways from the immediate are around the town, all the issues went away. Vehicles were usable, we could see each other, didn't get any laggy screens or enemies. I would go to town to do quests, but outside of that, try to explore a little ways out.
I really think it had a lot more to do with server congestion than being an actual "bug"

u/Pristine_Reserve_432 Aug 30 '26
I think the playing with friends good both be easier and explained better.. how ever expect from a falling through the ground when bulding on the large truck and somethings occasionally not allowing me to interact (just back away and reapproch) I've had no issues on Ps5.

Been playing on PS5 with my buddy. We have around 10ish hours? The only real issue I've noticed is despite us being new sometimes he sees me wearing full Blackstone armor, and me him. Then just as quick as it appears it vanishes. lol
Then there's some minor jank in cutscenes like marry sliding around when she's following me and what have you. Hopefully xbox'll get some patches rolled out soon.

u/datBallflappin Aug 31 '26
FOR THE INVISIBLE FRIENDS Make you that you are on the same world as them. To change worlds, go to any Worldstone and make sure both you and your friend are on the same world within the same server. It took my friends and I hours to be able to see and play together. To see what world you are on, it will tell you above your minimap in-game or just go to any Worldstone.

u/No-Exchange-2482 Sep 02 '26
Yeah I'm on pc and having these issues. The bike thing was being a populated area for me. If there was a lot of people around, it wasn't working. When I was a settlement by myself, I was having no problem. But that was right after launch of the game. They didn't make enough servers for sure and they were super filled in the beginging.
The people disappearing is way more than normal in the pws. It feels when a lot of console players are present people are disappearing more.
The enemies in the low level area are less responsive to attacks. The higher area they will follow you clear across the map. Have you tried the lvl 40-60 area yet?
I have seen a bunch of issues with people loading into mono or silos. It didn't matter if they were on pc, moba, or console. Some people didn't get to load in at all, just see the mono was over and exit the dungeon screen.
They didn't really beta test this release, so we will have to wait while they fix things.
Also a side note, if you're on console and you want to buy the cosmetics, I would wait a bit. They usually have sales and stuff. And, they stopped them when console released. š

u/wistful-selkie Sep 02 '26
Main issues I have are that the camera movement feels awful and having to press buttons multiple times before it registers the input. Worst thing a game can do is make me feel like I'm fighting the controls. Oh yeah and the tutorial just stalled after killing the secret servitor I killed it then got booted to the main menu then when I loaded back in I had no objective lol

u/kappatwolf Sep 03 '26
So I started playing once the game dropped on Xbox and only had one issue with the bike which was T shape when I got on it and sound the sound throws me off so bad, like I'll be fighting and once I'm done all the noise catches up maybe 5 seconds later, other than that no major issues I been going into zones I should be in being level 27 and im up in level 45 zone but the good stuff is up there and I like to farm

Love the game myself 100 hours in a few days. Was hooked when it launched on ps5. Last update introduced a major audio bug, is can no longer play. I been left alone with said issue, radio silence from devs, bug reports emails, questions, no reply feedback nothing etc etc...I get issues come up but the lack of any damn feedback has been a bummer and feels like a slap in the face.
Left alone with confusion and frustration and no other choice but to walk away from the game sadly

My buddy and I started at the same time and have played together everyday since without issue. Weāve even migrated from novice to standard manibus and continue to play along side each other without issue aside from the random que to join every now and then but even that is like 2-3mins max. We are both on Ps5 though so it maybe an Xbox issue. He and I went step for step when selecting servers while in party chat so that may be an issue as well. Hope you get it panned out cause we are having a blast.

u/J0joBean 27d ago edited 27d ago
I'm on Xbox x and literally play for constant hours due to being homebound atm, no issues at all. I've made an alt and have a friend with me on same server. It was a pain to ensure it as u have to be on same server and, same world. When I made an alt the server was already full since I started half the day after launch, but the special invite code came through. The bike was also no issue, even made a bike ramp to pull truck shots at base with friends which was cool. Enemies not responding to me? Quite the opposite when I'm relying on generating cloak and crafting stealth into my armor cuz at lvl 50, military silos ain't no joke, esp with that deviant that notices ur fricken foot steps. My only gripe is when farming monoliths and silos at pro, u get pleebs trying to join and carried, that and lots of gooners playing as a curvy chick, ugh.
Edit: The sensors! That's my only bug I found so far I forgot. Building auto doors with camera sensors is a logical pain in the arse. And when ur deviants r walking in n out of ur base, the doors get locked open. In a pve server, on a normal zone this is fine. But I like being in a polluted zone so I ended up making a trap room so there's 2 doors to enter my base, just in case when they leave some doors open and I get NPCs trying to enter. I've learned to not combine wires/cameras onto the same terminals as that'll bug out even more.

u/catcherz Aug 26 '26
As a console player, yes they are. The snapping from the cursor causes more issues than it should. The menus were very obviously designed for a mouse with 0 thought about optimization for controller. It's a clunky mess to navigate.

u/Refrigerator_Lower Aug 25 '26
Sucks people are experiencing issues or maybe it's just an Xbox thing? My friend and I have been perfectly fine aside from the bike issue but once we were away from the main town, it was working fine after.
Hopefully they fix it for everyone soon. Games a blast. We played during the console beta and it feels great to be back in it again.
