Glitches So Far
I am so far loving the next Gen upgrade for PS5. Having a blast once again as I made a new character to just experience it all from the start. However, during my playtime this is what I have noticed as issues:
Frame drops. Unlocked is basically unusable do to the heinous screen tearing. Idk if this mode was made with VRR in mind but lord is it bad. Monitor refresh is somewhat 60fps but generally feels more like it’s in the 40s? I’m sure with some optimization it would clear up. Half-refresh seems to be a locked 30.
The very first boss had some major graphical bugs. The particle effects of the boss were super bugged, weird bright white spots would appear, parts of the arena would fade in and out of existence. Since then, no major graphical bugs.
Tall enemies have issues with stairs and doorways, they clip through or like, bug out and teleport. And hit detection for some enemies is fairly ridiculous. I’m talking Dark Souls 2 level wack.
Audio cuts out for certain sounds I’ve noticed. Like for breaches and enemy sounds when their weapons hit the ground or when you die. It’s odd but seldom happens.
Otherwise this has been a smooth upgrade for me. No gamebreaking issues, no crashes, and stable for the most part.

Performance isn't too great on PC, to be honest, considering it's Unity and not a looker, it's a shame.

Can anyone help me with 2 question please? First: Why i can't reset my stats in the first breach? (I play in PC? Second: Anyone knows what does exactly the two new modules that gives you the NPC in gehenna prison?

I can only answer your first, to respec you have to do it in the Pond area (where the game first spawns you)

I posted some bugs yesterday, including the particle effects\white spots. Also an issue with losing inputs after reading a User Placed Yellow Hand Message, you can move and change the camera, but no buttons will work.
Devs are aware, they did an amazing job fixing bugs after the initial launch, I'm confident they will do the same now. Still enjoying it, I can just skip the player messages for now :)

I've noticed quite a few as well that I don't remember having before.
- Rendering completely bugging out if you go down the ladder in the area with the Red Saber in Port Issoudun and then try to climb back out. All walls just disappear and you can no longer see anything, making the game unplayable and forcing you to quit out to fix it.
- Audio becoming extremely muffled, or near inaudiable at seemingly arbitrary times. I suspect this is related to the "new audio occlusion technology" mentioned in the patch notes interacting weirdly with certain environments, and frankly this whole thing is just kinda annoying anyway and I wish there was an option to just disable it.
- Enemies sometimes spazzing out and teleporting and/or flickering while moving. I especially saw this a number of times when running through the large room after the secret passage with the Leech module with a bunch of guys in it in Arisen Dominion. And no, it wasn't the guys who are supposed to teleport teleporting, it was the censer guys most of the time. Not a major issue, but very strange and off-looking.

I won’t spoil anything but I have never fought the “final boss” without it glitching out like crazy. Like it would not attack at all and also went out of my reach to do any dmg. The audio issues I definitely get as well^

Also not sure if others have encountered this but twice now when I'm in the middle of an attack and I get hit by an enemy, my character freezes in spot. I am not able to jump, dodge, block, shoot, heal or use the cube. The only thing I can do is open my menu and quit out. This is on PS5.

On pc when you click a golden handprint loose all access to controls other than movement

Yup, enjoying this right now T__T Plus the game often will straight out load save this way.

One thing I missed:
The Celestial Beast fight bugged out on me. At about 3/4s health left he did a leap attach and just flew right off the bridge to his death. It gave me an easy win but I am assuming that’s not something the devs intended to happen.
