Hello,

I just fired up my Planet Coaster Console Edition on my Xbox Series X. I loaded an older park that was at 67% full, day night cycle is on, I have a large crowd, all kinds of rides and shops. Almost immediately I noticed a couple of things. I’m playing in the “Alpine” zone and the trees outside the park flash randomly almost like crazed Christmas lights. I went to delete a path and the glitch with the size of the path circle is still there. It will. It get any smaller than 23 feet in size. The screen says 7 feet, but it’s clearly still 23 feet in diameter, so trying to delete just one path is nearly impossible.
After about 15 minutes of play time the game crashed back to the Xbox Home Screen. I have all the DLC (and want MORE!!) and I do play the game on my Xbox One X and don’t experience these issues as much. I do mainly play on the Xbox Series X though and the continued crashing is maddening especially after the update. I’ve currently installed the entire game and DLC and am doing a reinstall. It does read as “Build 1.4.1.17862” after the reinstall.
After the reinstall the trees are still flashing and the path delete tool still reads at 7 feet but is obviously much larger.
After the update and the reinstall I have not had a crash in about 35 minutes.

Thank you for your time.
 
I have just updated my PS5 onto the latest update and noticed that now it’s jumpy and the frame rates have got poor, it’s laggy when moving round the map and jumping. Never used to do this? Park at 90%.....?!
 
Few issues I've noticed on Xbox One with update 1.4 that weren't there before.

When clicking to edit a work roster from the park management it'll take you to the game screen (normal behavior). But once in the edit roster mode, clicking on the bumpers will "accidentally" bring you back to the park management menu discarding the changes you made (normally I think the buttons were just inactive).

Although it doesn't seem to be fixed (was mentioned in a post), the Delete Path tool "width" slider doesn't allow for larger than 32 ft (but the circumference of the circle does get bigger). I had an issue today where it didn't want to erase the path until I tried a later during the session (didn't have that issue before).

Minor issues:

There's now no tool tip now (press B) to exit the interactive shooting ride (would also like an invert Y axis option if somehow possible 😉).

Plipcam: It looks like some of the UI did get removed upon requests), but now the guest's info box now remains stuck on the screen instead of being removed when activated. You can also zoom in and out with the triggers (don't recall that happening before 1.4).


Thanks; I appreciate the hard work and effort you guys are putting into the game.🙂
 
Update has fixed a lot of the issues on the series X. Still getting crashes after 80% but will replicate and lodge issues soon. Tha ks guys for getting this great game working again
 
Hello,

I played today for about 3 hours, but that time was broken up with several crashes back to the Xbox Home Screen.
My park got worse after 65% with more crashes happening the larger the park.

I am playing on an Xbox Series X.
The park area(s) are: Desert, Deciduous, Arctic and City.
I have a number of parks due to starting new ones when crashing became too severe on the park I was working on.
Parks are Open.
Normal crowds
Sandbox mode.
Crashes happen randomly after 60% now and increase with the size of the park.
My last number of crashes happened while lying down large tracts of pathway.
I have started an alpine park and hope to reach crash results in more detail. I really want to enjoy this game, but after the park goes past 60% living in fear of crashes and losing a bunch of work is not only nerve wracking, but takes the desire to play the game and throws it out the window.
I’m hopeful the team there are closing in on a fix, but I must express my extreme disappointment with the current state of the game. If I had a physical copy of the game I would have returned it by now. I purchased the full game and all the DLC for the game so far, and I really support the game and the team, but my enthusiasm is waning exponentially by the crash and loss of progress.
Best of Luck Team.

Thank you for your report. The team is investigating this and we hope to have a solution for it as soon as possible.

The PS5 now crashes during the challenge mode even with a new park. Thanks

As mentioned in the patch notes, the team is still investigating any and all crash reports that come in. Please don't forget to report this via our Issue Tracker as well, and include as many details around the crash as you can.

Thank you for your support, we do appreciate it. I completely understand your frustrations with regards to the crashes. We will continue to investigate any and all crash reports as they come in, and we hope to have a solution for it as soon as possible.
 
Thank You for fixing the the glitch I had when items would move underground. Playing on PS4, and so far no issues with the newest update. I reported that glitch and it got fixed.
 
Was hoping this latest update would fix a problem I've been having but unfortunately not. When I try selecting through the different premade track pieces, the game freezes. If this could be fixed somehow would be great so I can continue playing.
 
Hello,

Ive been meaning to report this, but since it’s not really a game breaker it slipped my mind. If you are editing a track (coaster, dark ride, anything with track supports) When you highlight the first track piece the supports are on. However each subsequent piece will say “off” even though it is there. You have to turn the piece “on” then “off” to get the support to go away. Like I said, not a game breaker, but maybe it could help with some other issue.
 
Hello,
I have the PS4 spanish edition and to date I have no crashes so far :), but some glitches, one of them is when I put some Speakers contolled by a Sequencer (for a fireworks show), in some of them, the music comes and goes to zero in a cyclic way. The park is at 99%.
 
This game need a performance vs quality option on Series X. The framerate is too unstable and players should be able to cap at 30FPS for smooth gameplay.

Customers may transform their paychecks or other checks into cash without having to rely on a bank account at check cashing companies, often known as money services firms. Check-cashing shops are often open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provide convenient, rapid access to cash when customers need it. Like the check cashing loacator at moneyzap According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), 20% of American households do not have a bank account or choose to cash their paychecks in other ways, such as through check-cashing businesses.

I've just tried this update but it seems like the loan bugs weren’t fixed
My repayment flow is off the charts
