Infinity mode is bugged

[FluffyFrigginFox.TTV]

I have tried twice to get the 7 day survivor achievement and it always crashes or freezes on day 5 do not attempt infinity mode until they fix this. I do not know how this could get past quality control but its annoying. So to help others avoid this dilemma do not attempt this achievement until a patch has been implemented it would see I am not the only one encountering this.

Skip mechanic helpful for infinity mode? Been hearing about it and wasn't sure how bad this bug was when I saw it in a review.

Skip mechanic is extremely useful but day 5 or 6 you will crash or freeze sadly

This mode could be completed in about 3 hours vs the og where it took 14 hours irl

This really needs to be said more. I don't know how or why the game just starts melting and dying 4-5 days into infinity, but it's aggravating as all hell.

Same here crashes Day 5 on the dot, also is it just me or does it say you've survived 1 day from the get go?

By any chance are these crashes happening when you enter the food court? It did for me this time, I remember it happening on the OG versions.

Now this may sound insane - but I wonder if the bug impacts people who do it the old fashioned way.

Additionally - I would be interested in understanding how FF works exactly with regards to non-cutscene events (like does it spawn them at specific times still? Best bet is it checks the clock when you stop it to catch them up).

Essentially - if you FF to day 5, could the crash be the game "catching up" and overloading itself, is where I am going with this. Trying the old way would allow it to parse the events as normal and slower, but you would imagine the FF was tested extensively for this type of thing.

Especially seeing :

Seems too reliable to be coincidence, and it likely isn't at all related to a particular Plaza (unless everyone is following a guide I guess), so this leaves few options as to a cause.

I've been using the Al Fresca Gym to fast forward, I usually wait for the announcers in the mall to stop speaking after but I do remember them doubling up on each other before the crash. Went into food court door and despite whatever time I waited until the loading screen simply showed Day 5:00:00

I did a lot of fast forwarding to get to 7 days and didn't crash. There must be some specific circumstance it happens.

Crash at Day 5 :(

[DrNewcenstein]

Don't enter or leave Food Court on Day 5, don't Fast-Forward, don't use cheats in Infinite Mode. 5 and 7 Day Survivor can be done with mall food easily enough.

I always wondered if Carlito or another Psycho was supposed to spawn in FC on D5 (Brock?) in OG, and that's why it crashed.

That's a bug too because I got to day 7 and it said I only survived 6 days

Yes I was in the food court I think you're right

I was on day 1 in infinity mode down in the tunnels. Video starts -> black screen, tryed to sequence skipp. back to game but still black screen. game is running cause i hear sound and frank is still acting when i hit buttons. pressing escape i´m in menu, i hear sound but still black screen. So infinity mode is not playable fro me at the moment.

72h mode and overtime mode work fine by me, with skippng sequences and without.

Yeah, I just started infinity mode and walked over to Al-Fresca to drop Adam, shortly after he died the game crashed. From the sounds of it I guess I need to just let it go.

The day 5/6 crashes I'm reading here are kinda funny since it feels very reminiscent of the old 360 days when entering certain parts of the mall after enough time in Infinity Mode would be a guaranteed freeze.
