Description: I have done some testing and compiled a list of issue I have discovered following the hotfix. Unless otherwise stated, each of these caused the game to crash.
- Picking up a placed land mine, placed explosive gas tank, placed compressed gas tank, placed car battery EMP.
- Exploding a placed land mine, placed explosive gas tank, placed compressed gas tank, placed car battery EMP.
- Fighting 5 FNIX Hunters, one of which was a lv4 rival. Fired two rockets into their pack, then as they advanced towards me the game crashed. Fight lasted maybe 20 seconds.
- Fighting 5 FNIX Hunters, two of which were lv3&4 rivals. Went well at first, lasted a few minutes with no sign of an imminent crash. It was abrupt and unexpected. At first I actually thought I might win without a crash. The Hunters deployed ticks and used their melee attack, and behaved as expected. I have no idea what exactly happened that caused the game to crash.
- Massive battle with multiple Military Hunters and Runners, and a Military Tank. There may have also been some FNIX Hunters, but I can’t confirm that.
- Battling the machines at Rusksele Farm while attempting to complete Marshlands side mission A Place to Rest. (Was recently able to complete this mission without a crash)
- Calm Runners suddenly emitting blue sparks with accompanying static noise like their components are being shot. This did not cause the game to crash, and I’ve only experienced this one time. And yes, I’m certain that they weren’t being shot by another person or machine.
- Attempting to exit to main menu occasionally causes a crash.
Regarding point 1 and 2, I am certain that they were the causes of the crash, as all I did was exit the safe house, place one of them, and either try to pick it up or shoot it, and the game crashed shortly thereafter.
Regarding point 3, 4 and 5, it should be noted that just recently I was able to win a fight against 8 Hunters (7 military, 1 prototype) 6 military Seekers, and 3 prototype Runners, whilst using flares, fireworks, and small EMP cells, and the game didn’t crash. The framerate did drop however until after I destroyed some of the machines. (Number of Ticks is unknown) Also just recently, I got into a fight with a FNIX Tank and some FNIX Hunters, and shortly into the fight the game crashed. I rebooted the game, found the Tank I was fighting and finished it off without any nearby Hunters joining in, and there was no crash. I’m pretty sure Hunters are at least part of the issue with this new hotfix bug, in addition to placed item use. However it should be noted that I’ve also fought FNIX Hunters on a few occasions without a crash.

Players in your game: 1. Was playing solo.
Xbox model and game version: Xbox One. Base game with no DLCs. Version 1903375
Additional Notes (1): I have one other incident where the game crashed, however I’m not certain if it took place before the hotfix or after. Battle Proceeded as such: Was attempting to complete Forest Region side mission Scrap Metal. Needed to destroy Tank, and decided to try and ambush it. Placed 5 medium fuel cells and 3/4 land mines. Then placed radio, and then game crashed.
Additional Notes (2): This is very disappointing. Of all things, I did not expect a hotFIX to break the game even more. I’ve had the occasional crash before the hotfix but they were never that serious or common. It’s really unfortunate that an update designed to help the game has made it worse in some aspects. I hope you find a solution for this soon, as I truly do love the game and want to play it more.
I will update this post with any new issues I find.
