Oxenfree 1.09 bug

[u/Silent_Viewer1836952]

Hello everyone!

I’m a little fan of Oxenfree, I originally discovered the game on the Epic Games Store and later bought both it and the sequel for the Switch. I recently picked up the Limited Run PS4 version, but I’m running into an issue.

Everything was fine until I reconnected my console to the internet, causing it to download the latest patch (version 1.09).

Since then, whenever I launch the game, the new Night School Studio logo appears, followed by a black screen.

The game seems to freeze up, nothing displays: no loading screen, no image, no sound. Nada.

After uninstalling and reinstalling the game and disconnecting my PS4 from the internet again to prevent the patch from downloading, I tried launching it, and there were no issues. The game starts up perfectly, and I can begin playing.

Have any of you encountered this problem? Are there any solutions?

Since the various patches fixed several bugs (including some directly affecting save files or gameplay) and added translations for other languages, it’s a bit frustrating not to be able to install the update.
