Bug Description:
Invisible wild dogs at Isle of Siptah game start
Bug Reproduction:
Log in to Isle of Siptah on PS4, create your character starting on the beach, walk a few yards towards the nearby coast, encounter a wild dog, most of the time it is invisible. You hear a growl, if you are lucky you may be able to see small eyes floating in the air. Lose half your life bar trying to hit an invisible animal. Or maybe it is the whole purpose of the game, trying to defend yourself against invisible monsters on a beach ?
Maybe it is from a texture loading problem. At most, if textures can’t load, mobs should not appear at all. At least, if the fancy textures don’t load, default plain textures should be used.
In any case, you should not be randomly attacked by invisible ennemies.
This happens every time I play online. Dogs and plants are invisible. If I switch to Exiled Lands it works. If I play solo play on Isle of Siptah the dogs and plants are invisible for about 10 minutes and they finally load the assets. However online play dogs and plants never become visible on Isle of Siptah.
The only fix I’ve found for the plants is to either move away and eventually it will start showing the plants, or to equip a tool or weapon of star metal.
I’ve tried moving the game from external SSD storage to system storage on my PS4 system. Single player mode still has invisible leaves and mobs. As it makes no difference, everything is now back to external SSD storage.
I’ve tried playing online, and there was progress : The mobs and leaves got visible for about 1 hour. After 1 hour, one of my friends connected to PSN and I switched to the OS to say Hello. When I switched back to the game, the tree leaves and fiber bushes had disappeared.
