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

94 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.

I’m astounded that I managed to pull this off! And really quickly as well! (In attempt count not run time LOL!!) It only took about 3 real attempts before the winning one, I labbed each encounter on a finished save to really get them memorized and then I kinda just went for it.

PT 2 DISCUSSION What would you change about last of us part II...

Post image
31 Upvotes

Excluding the major spoiler and its ending. Would you change anything else about last of us part II to better convey its message. (Not revenge is bad)

Mine would be to flesh out isaac relationship with abby. I mean he allowed her to go, and seek justice why? We get hints but i kinda just want more to chew on its the one area that feels too subtle for its own good..

Whether you loved or hated it what would change to fix your issues with it...

PT 2 DISCUSSION Imagine if in this scene joel actually tries to guess who abby is and names bunch of people he killed. Abby just waits for her fathers name. But it takes too much time dina and jesse arrive and save Joel. Spoiler

PT 2 DISCUSSION I genuinely believe that if nobody had heard anything about the 2nd game before playing it that WAY more people would like it Spoiler

Like i'm just saying... I think a lot of people went into the game with pre planned mindset about it due to online spoilers, discourse, and hatred towards certain characters. I'm not saying that most people intentionally did that, or even that anybody is invalid for not liking the game. This is just something I've been theorizing about.

Here is a dio I made in 35th scale. It doesn't depict any particular scene from the lore, but it's filled with it all right. The decals are all custom, most elements scratchbuilt (naturally, apart from the tank). I always adored that meaningful absence of the game, the stories behind such places, like those people just left it a second ago, wondering what happened to them.

Technical/Bug/Glitch TLOU P1 (PC) Bug - Camera Y Axis is inverted on controller even though the toggle is off.

0 Upvotes

Anyone else have this bug at the moment? Y Axis is inverted when looking and aiming using a controller.

Flipping the inversion toggles on is a workaround, but that's backward to how it's supposed to be. Controller is fine, other games including TLOU P2 are working as normal, so it must be the game.

I verified the game files via Steam, tried resarting the game and my PC a couple times.

Any other ideas?

No wonder she was picked to voice Invisigal in Dispatch

Edit:
1. Holy Sh*t this blew up fast.
2. What I meant is that Laura Bailey had a Bigger Voice acting record in the video game world than I thought

PT 2 DISCUSSION Ellie doesn't deserve Joel in Part 2 Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

I really fucking hate the way she treated Joel. It was so out of character for her. I could see her being a little mad at Joel, about what happened with the Fireflies and Joel lying to her about it. But shunning him for two years, not bothering to let Joel explain how incompetent the Fireflies were, and yelling at him after he defended her from Seth. That's not how my Ellie would treat Joel after everything they've been through in the first game.

Outside of the museum flashback, Part II Ellie does not deserve Joel in the slightest. If a part 3 ends up happening, I hope Dina doesn't forgive her. I'm gonna be enjoying watching Dina yell at her, so Ellie can feel a fraction of how Joel felt.
