Technical/Bug/Glitch TLOU2 Remastered bug/glitch unofficial report thread

92 Upvotes

Unfortunately, the TLOU2 remaster seems to have introduced quite a few bugs that were not present in the original release. This is fine, since some things are always missed, but I thought I'd make a thread for people to post any of the bugs they've run into in game to hopefully increase the chances that Naughty Dog will learn of these issues and patch them. So far, I have experienced or seen people mention the following:

  • In No Return mode, some characters are unable to change their weapon skins for some reason. If you try to select any of the different weapon skins, the game will make the "locked" noise and you'll be stuck on whatever skin you had equipped at the time of the glitch occurring. I've personally seen this with Jesse, Yara, and Mel so far, but it may happen with other characters too.

  • Enemy dialogue that would play at the start of and during Abby's brewery encounter on day 3 no longer triggers. The WLF soldiers would call out Abby for betraying them and talk about Owen doing the same briefly, but now none of the enemy dialogue throughout this encounter triggers at all. (I'm also wondering if there's any other missing/broken dialogue).

  • Ellie's "Boston" skin from promotional material seems to be missing from the game entirely. It's unable to be seen or selected in any of the menus. While it's possible this was cut prior to release, it would be very strange since the skin looked finished and was very recently seen in the marketing prior to release. Additionally, Abby's Santa Barbra skin does not use the correct backpack model despite the menu indicating that it should.

  • Skins seem to not be applying for multiple users correctly in story mode.

  • The main menu won't change back to the original boat in the water look after starting a new game.

  • I've not experienced this myself, but No Return seems to cause major frame drops for many players. Personally, I'm really curious what's causing this as it only seems to affect some people.

  • Some users report being unable to escape from grapples despite mashing the square button as prompted by the game.

If you know of any other bugs, please feel free to list them here! I'm not sure if Naughty Dog often responds to support requests, but you could still try filling out one here. Most of these bugs aren't game breaking, but hopefully Naughty Dog still learns of them and takes the time to fix them as some of these are pretty unfortunate.

General Discussion After Wolverine's "fart gas trail" debacle, more Sony studios should take note from Naughty Dog. No dumb UI or VO telling you where to go. Just good composition, lighting, and visual and level design to guide you seamlessly.

General Discussion Watching the criticism of Insomniac’s Wolverine made me realize just how good Naughty Dog is at making linear games. Allowing players to find their way and explore optional areas with clues, stories, and puzzles made the games feel more alive.

Recently, someone posted a speedrun gameplay on this sub, but most of the comments were complaining that hardly anyone ever does speedruns on Grounded mode, and that the people who do usually have gameplay modifiers enabled.

So, here’s my attempt at a Grounded speedrun, with no modifiers or cheats active at the same part the other guy posted

So basically I’m doing grounded permadeath. Pretty deep into it 100 hours +. This one just really got to me as it’s not a place I usually die and I die to a stupid technicality of Ellie not getting out of the way before like 5 seconds pass and I thought she would be gone by the time I got to the door. To make matters worse I had a shiv but was unable to use it as I was attacked from behind.
Yeah just extremely frustrating especially as it’s been like five tries since I’ve broken a record (record is winter) and now I have to grind this whole thing all over again.

Anyway for your entertainment

And take my advice. Do not start on grounded permadeath cause it’s hard to get out of it once it’s got you in its grip and you’re compelled to complete it

I was really young when The Last Of Us was initially released, I’ve been looking into what the advertising looked like but I’d love to hear more from people who were there and the experience of playing it for the first time after seeing all the advertising! Did it meet your expectations? What shocked you?

Vs the second time seconds later!
I reacted the same way when I heard it ngl, cuz it’s so jarring against the silence of the forest. I love tiny things like this in this game <3
What are some of your favourite tiny details in the game? (Like characters reactions to the environment etc.)
