Another Game-Breaking Bug...

[Lister of Smeg ︻デ =ー]

That has been around for at least 4 years looking at other forums. This game has been abandoned by the devs.

I am trying to complete the Ice Wind Lava Cave and not only have many of the textures failed to load resulting in me falling through the floor but the Horde at the end never arrives and because of the stupid console save system, I have to do this all over again... how many times?

Is that the one you do for Nero? If so, I had that bug once, I just quit the game completely, loaded back in and continued.

Yes, apparently it is a common issue and has been for years. When devs don't patch what is obliviously a game-breaking bug in a 'remake' there's no confidence left in them.

Yeah, unfortunately, in most cases it's not up to the developers. It's the publishers which is why they handle support requests.

Sony don't seem too fond of this IP.

Exactly at the same point, was waiting for the horde but nothing happened, checked reddit and it seems like this bug exists since forever, damn lazy devs only want money and too incompetent to even fix gamebreaking bugs

I'm going to have to postpone this part of the game (not sure for how long as it is part of the main quest) but makes you wonder how such an important part of the game can be overlooked. Off topic but another reason why i never pre-order games anymore. It feels like the consumer has become the BETA Tester,

Usually the fix for this bug, )textures not loading, which is also common in the final cave scene btw), is to quit the game back to desktop then restart. You'll have to do the whole mission again, unfortunately.

Well they probably have to pay proper wages to studio Beta testers. Putting out untested games to the consumer means, we pay them for the privilege of being Beta testers. A win - win for (in this case) Sony

Yeah thanks for the advice I gathered that was the only 'fix' but quite frankly this should be fixed if every other bug is not as it is 'Game-Breaking' The Devs, Sony whoever have clearly abandoned this game.

I've read that this type of bug is due to poor RAM refresh programming So your RAM becomes full of redundant data. When the game wants to load a whole new set of textures, there isn't enough space, so .....
I've also read that this game refreshes your RAM during the cut scene videos. Skipping the cut scenes skips the RAM refresh as well. How true that is I don't know.

and it happened again, during the mission on which you attack wizard island, inside the cave system suddenly the map is missing, imposible to proceed. at least there was a savegame not too far back where you can start again after restarting the game, only have to kill 20 soldiers once more
