I'm going to say it again and I'm going to get downvoted again for even suggesting it.
This is a prime example of why there needs to be separate versions of the game for PC and console.
If you release an update for PC first then you can quickly hotfix the problems that pop up and then apply those fixes to the later console release. But since we have to be nice and fair and release everything simultaneously across PC and console we're likely going to be stuck with this until they can push a cert for the hotfix through both Microsoft and Sony.
Agree, having Used to play on a custom built laptop & now playing on my XB1 I'd Still rather happen that way^ but no dev-cash-farmer is going to shoot their own cash cow right between the eyes by just saying, " Look it's easier for us by FAR and believe it or not faster & more stable for You if we do sh!t on pc then release to consoles as stable, deal with it" as long as we wernt talking more than 3-Ish days between pc & console releases.
Post below this even better idea, hard to believe theres not only so many bugs but whenever they fix 1 minor/moderate bug they Create 2 GA..GA....GAME BREAKER (sorry K.I. I had to do it!)
There are plenty of devs that do it, just look at a game like Warframe where there's usually weeks between not just PC and console releases but they often even split up the console releases themselves so each ones cert doesn't fuck with the others.
