Re: Single Player day not advancing
Intro
Hello, I’m on PS5 and have been experiencing this bug where I cannot play the story mode normally anymore since the beginning of Volume 7. (I have beaten the story and do not know if this affects people who haven’t)
It is now Volume 8 and the bug is still present. It seems to be a very rare bug that I’ve seen few people have, however I’m hoping this bug will be patched soon as half the game has become borderline unplayable!!
What Happens in This Bug
Loading into the garage in either Story or Online is longer than usual. (more specifically the black screen that appears before showing the garage menu)
When looking at the map, the available meetups are fewer (2-3) than normal depending on the day (like 4-7 I believe) with these few meetups only having 1 race each.
Delivery missions show $0 as the reward and upon completion the reward screen shows $0 for all the time completion ranks and $0 as the reward given. (It does give you the normal reward regardless)
Heat Delivery missions also show $0 as the reward and during the event the damage meter is no longer visible.
The heat gained from doing races is no longer given accurately and can prevent you from doing the few events already given as some require a specific heat level.
The day of the week menu is stuck on Thursday (it varies depending on the day you left off on before the bug) and it stays as daytime even when it shows the animation of it switching to night when entering the garage. It also shows the usual nighttime events on the map, but during gameplay it is daytime.
When continuing to play what you can, going through what should be different days, the game will eventually crash. When going back into story, you will be set back to the same events that were there when first playing before the crash. (This also happens when switching between modes)
Left on the pad action (top right corner) when in free roam will sometimes not show up and will be unable to quick select safe house or meetup.
Conclusion
This bug has really ruined half of this game and has made earning money very difficult. It has kept me from playing specific tiers of races and the overall playability of this game. I really really REALLY HOPE this gets patched soon, because I miss enjoying the story mode as it’s the core experience of a NFS game.
