New patch 555.2 landed on my Xbox Dec 20 2022, and the game now crashes continuously.
I appreciate the long-awaited fix of the polygon compass, crossbow, speargun and ballista but the game is now unplayable.
I've been patient, waited for the restart, and even exited to menu to save a stable game state, but the crashes are frequent and continuous.
I'm no expert, but it looks to me like loading data is the cause. For example, my maps bookshelf initially is filled with blank maps, that 'fill in' one by one, row by row. If I scroll down the revealed maps are also blank and fill in. If I scroll too quickly the game crashes back to the xbox home screen. It seems if I do anything too quickly, the game crashes.
Approaching new islands is always glitchy, but now a guaranteed crash.
Certain creatures are basic polygons until approached - pig, chicken, bear. Ship sails blocky before slowly becoming normal.
I have worked around problems such as maps no longer working upon visiting the powerstone with the dragon, but ya can't play a game that just crashes all the time.
Please try to fix before xmas
