Does it only crash if the “Dog” is set to loot?
Or it happens anyway, even without it (companion around) ?
@Mr_A1992
In the patch notes under known issues is mentioned that the game may crash under special circumstances if the companion is looting.

We can already mark items/ressources as favorite ones, to see them easier. Can’t there be an option to mark items/ressources as favorites to be looted by the companion? This should prevent additional unnecessary inventory management after each battle.
I feel bad for you. I don’t understand why some people like me don’t have any crashes, while others have a really bad experiences. I had hoped that this time it would be good for everybody.
Ik have played the mission twice now, second time to make some photo’s I forgot to take and to work on the Map.
It crashes more (for my friend and I) regardless of what behaviour we set for the companion. But the ‘loot’ behaviour introduces further problems into the mix with additional crashes / glitches when you both are looting machines.
I love and dont love the new companion.
I love that it exists and its cute. With the rocket launcher it does decent damage to other runners and other smaller robots, its not a main battle tank after all. I had it take down a tank, it works, but the dog would attack in melee range way too much, causing it to take alot of unnecessary damage.
The AI is obviously copy-paste from the normal runner, and needs alot of tweaking to to become useful.
As it it now it attacks shit it should not, it attacks in melee range way to often, and its way to squishy for endgame combat.
The armor sucks. Even at 4 star armor the companion dies quickly, i spend more time healing the companion then myself…
Its clear the companion needs to somehow level up with the player, so that its not OP at lower levels, and not useless for endgame content.
Maby a small skill tree with defensive skills for the companion? Or simply let it gain levels with the player to gradually increase its power.
Hey this might sound like a stupid question, I’ve only had quick run through this morning of mission, however how do I repair the companion, my options greyed out , am I missing something , cheers
Do you have repair kits? (like for motorbikes)
Ahh do I need to use these?
Thanks
On Twitter from Generation Zero team:
"We’ve received reports from some players regarding game crashes & are currently investigating the cause. This is our top priority & we will update you once resolved. We apologize to players currently impacted & greatly appreciate your reports which help us nail down the problem.
And with a very High cost mostly cosmetic DLC.
I will test today evening. Can’t say anything against that, yet, but the reports all point into the same direction.
Yes, there seem to be heavy issues again and I wonder why the devs still released the update and dlc.
I don’t think they didn’t test it. They even wrote some of issues as known ones on the patch notes. But the evaluation of these issues went wrong.
It seems that most problems happen in multiplayer and while using new content. If the problems aren’t caused directly by the companions it seems that at least the overall performance is affected in a way that leads to crashes.
Finally in my eyes it looks like the tests where very limited… again. Did they even test multiplayer situations? Or what about using a system with minimum system requirements? And what are the reasons? A too specialized environment for test which doesn’t fit a real situation? Didn’t they think about some possible situations? Didn’t they have enough time to test it?
That’s sad.
Let’s hope for a soon hotfix for all systems.
And hopefully some additional improvements on the behaviour modules.
Its always the same thing.
Update after update, theres always something very wrong (crashes/ losing items or Bases) but if you criticize it too much we are being mean.
Its very different from having few bugs or wrong textures, to game breaking stuff.
Its not normal.
If they dont have enough people and time to test it properly, just ask for a few volunteers from PC/XBOX/PS systems, then they sign a non disclusure agreement and thats about it.
There is however one Positive thing about this, for us to prevent crashes we just have to avoid to use the companion, specially when playing with other users.
PS: Where or when can i buy the new DLC?
Its not available on the PSN
I thought it was available yesterday, maybe it was confusion from my part?
Have you ever heard of the story about a man who build his house on sand?
Wasn’t expecting to get an update that brakes multplayer. An update that wasn’t even needed and that messes up multiplayer/coop. Thanks for being a good mod & dev team
They did. At least for pc (steam).
I don’t know where you’re looking… I had no problem. Did it with the PS app on my smartphone, selected Generation Zero and switched to addons. There it was.
Yes i can find it there too on the app.
But i cant find it at the PS store if i go there directly through my PS4.
Maybe its a PS4 issue?
Solution :
Ok it does not appear if you go to the main page and go to the DLC page.
It also does not appear if you go the “game” icon and look for addons/extra, DLC or whatever it appears in English or other languages.
It only appears at the Results from the PSN Search TAB.
I’ve not had time for prolonged gameplay , however no issues on series X so far , maybe it’s coming
