Xbox Mining glitches and game crashes in splitscreen co-op with 1.6

[kpry]

I've never posted here before, but wanted to try and let the dev team know about some issues I experienced while playing the new update on Xbox series X. I was playing splitscreen local co-op with my girlfriend, who is really excited for the new stuff in the update, and mostly ran into issues while mining. After about 9 levels in the mines there would be visual glitches when swinging the pickaxe or breaking rocks, leaving after images of the swing motion stuck in midair, a little after this the game crashed. When we reloaded it, it did it again after around 9 levels, but I left the mines before the game crashed and we were able to play just fine still. So, it seems mostly associated with the mines, but we did have the game crash on us one other time last night while we were on the farm, she was watering and I was opening up a chest at the same time and then it froze and crashed and we called it a night there. It was also during winter, I'm not sure if that would matter. I was just playing solo and had no issues, although I didn't mine at all.

This happened to me on ps5 as well. Husband can mine all the time (he's the farm hand, I am the farmer) but everytime I go to the mine I get the glitch and the monsters stop moving, the pickaxe and sword swings all stay on the screen along with if you try to pick up anything like a mushroom. Think it's just a co-op error

This happens on Switch 1.6 as well, co-op, split-screen. I'm player 1 hosting the farm and my SO joins. When I go to the mines, usually after just a couple of levels, I start getting the after-images of the sword-swing or the rocks breaking. The monsters stop moving after being hit when the glitch starts as well. Basically anything I interact with glitches. I pick up a quartz and then an after-image of the quartz remains, sometimes a square away from where it has been. If I leave the mine level I'm on, the glitch goes away when I return. This only seems to happen when I am in the mines by myself and my SO is doing something else. We tested yesterday when we were both in the mines at the same time on the same level and no glitch. We're using the new meadowland farm layout if that's relevant.

Came here to report the same, on a Playstation. Animation artifacts, cannot collect items, slimes stop moving, and one player can only attack once
More Details below, hope it helps!


Background - we had started a new game file, day 5
Version 1.62, Playstation edition running on a PS5

Player 1 - Left side. Player 2 (local guest) right side
We are in the Mine level 7

Suddenly we cannot pick up items we should be able to collect, and the left hand side player 1 has various graphical crud appearing from animations.
We move to level 8 and all is normal again.


Level 9
See video here:

I hope the video helps provide some clues!

Sword "swoosh" remanents appear on the left player 1 side only
Then the green slimes, whilst present, stay stationary and have stopped chasing the players when near.
(0:19 seconds) Note also, if player one takes a swipe, the slime turns red,
but player two it shows as green. After the first swipe, which
scores a attack of 1, no further attacks by player one (left) have any effect but player two can still
attack and kill the slime (approx 0:19 in the video)
Player 1 also leaves some other artifacts when crossing the sand
Neither player can then collect items (note for some items we try to pickup there isn't room to pick them up, but stone should be picked up, and is ingored)
At 0:30, player one is trying to collect a geode, they already have one, so should be able to collect

Player two then tries, and cannot collect.
1:15 - Player two should be able to collect the stones, but no
1:41 - Player two leaves the mine and comes down to level 5 - this seems to have restored normal play

Just jumping in to say I'm experiencing this as well with co-op on PS. Has not happened in my solo playthrough (also on PS).

Can confirm this exact same bug is on PS5 as well.

Registered specifically to reply to this. PS5 version, same problem as player 1 on a split-screen co-op farm. Happens frequently, extremely annoying. Just about once per 10 mine levels.

My wife and I are on PS5 and are having the same issues. Does anyone know if this is only split Screen Co-op or multiplayer as well. Any word on an update?

My partner and I are on Xbox, and are having the same issue. I haven’t heard any news of an update.

Was running into the same glitch on PS5 constantly, found if I had my farmhand go down a ladder first, the bug wouldn't happen

 

[Ipsbear]

Been having this same issue on Xbox three person split screen, just randomly glitches out and you have to find the ladder down to fix.

This happens to us too every now and then on the Switch 1.6 in co-op split-screen.
In our case, it always happens on the main player. Leaving the mine level and then going back "fixes" the issue. We have not had the game crash because of it (yet).

 

[Raffolis]

I play split screen on Xbox One and the same errors mentioned above happened to me too.

 

[CrashBandicoochie]

Signed up to say I get this too (Xbox series X). It only ever happens for player one, but occurs on both players if you're on the same level of the mine. Is fixed if you go down a floor.

 

[Jamj0ker]

Playing on Switch, split screen co-op. Having the same issue. Also happened once when entering a cabin and opening a chest.

Registered specifically to reply to this post. This happens on Xbox Series S as well. This will happen every few floors of any mine for me. I’ve had it happen with my partner being with me as well, so that doesn’t negate the glitch. Nothing drops from nodes or slain enemies, but quartz can be picked up by harvesting it like a plant. Enemies can still be hit multiple times if using a hammer’s AoE secondary attack. A sword swing only hits once, then is unable to land additional swings. Being deep into the skull cavern and getting a bugged “infested” floor kills the run unless you’re able to make/place a staircase.

Another problem we’ve experienced is if we play through about an in-game week, the game will crash and dashboard us. We're assuming there is a build up of memory that isn’t being offloaded properly, but we’re not sure. Our current workaround is making sure we save, close the game, then reopen it once it’s been about an in-game week.

My wife and i also receive this glitch on xbox series s. Split screen unmmoded. We also have mobs be hit once and dissapear not registering kills. Really hope we see a fix. We also crash when trying to get through the end of the day so loosi g the entire day is heart breaking. Pls devs we need you xo

 

[mello]

I've had this happen as well (Switch, co-op) only happened to me as P1. Also wasn't able to open the checkpoint reward chest and had to lrave and come back. I'm sure the devs will be on all this stuff soon if they aren't already!

 

[jax94]

Having this issue on ps5.

Same issue as OP in co-op play.

Getting the glitch where everything freezes (monsters stop moving) and when you break nodes/stones it leaves the animation and you can no longer progress.

I've also found that when eating in the mines , my character will throw two of the same pieces of food for the eating animation. (Don't know what this means but it's a thing apparently haha)
