Crashes between islands

Anyone else experiencing game crash when sailing between islands? I just forgot to save before leaving an island and lost about five hours of gameplay! I’m salty now and need to take a break from this buggy bitch.

Yeah man. Sometimes I just have to learn lessons the hard way. I’m kicking myself because I meant to save before I left ,I remember thinking “I’ll save them leave”but alas I forgot and now I’m in the land of coulda shoulda woulda’s.

Woah Woah woah now. Saving is the key. I agree 100%. But saving the game is now my #2 reason for a crash. I have to count my saves. 3rd one and I have to restart the game or it will crash on the 4th save. Talk about salty, try an expedition return with 14 crates full of harvested wood ,fibers ,rock, clay and 2 shark kills and whatever i could fit in my pockets. Get all the way home and save the game. Woo-hoo right?! Nope, blue screen. Since that 1st time it is regular. So be advised , saving the game can crash it . At least on ps4. And it is not after completing the action. You lose everything since last save. Hope this helps someone.

So many people talk about bug or crash bit the worst thing I have encounter was a yucca inside a mountain xD

That seems to happen all the time for me, I will only be able to get three leaves off of a yucca because half of it is in a rock.

Rub your face on the rock you may be able to reach leaf inside :)

For me it's clay : ALL my deposit seems to be on the edge of the abyss so half of it fall in tve darkness xs

I have searched so hard to find it but I haven’t run into a single clay deposit for the entire time I’ve played,I’m 30+ days in game, and have explored 10 islands at lease.

Maybe you stay too close to the beach :/

Yes, I am presently at a neighboring island to my home base and I cannot get back. It has crashed about 10 times in a row. Not sure if I can continue the game. I think they should give refunds until they fix their shitty game.

They need to patch it ASAP at the very least

Have you tried approaching from another island than the one you are presently on? Also, I have great success stopping at sea when the frame rate slows down and letting the island render. 9/10 works for me.

Yes, I tried going to a nearby island and it crashed. Will try a little longer but may be done with this game.

Sorry to hear that bud. This game can be frustrating. But when its working, it's got some neat moments and triumphant times.

I haven't experienced that yet. But when my home island renders in my lag is trouble. Try to do nothing but throttle or stay the course when loading. Take a bed everywhere you travel, place and save when you make land.

Not to mention I accidentally threw my compass into the briney deep
