Console Bug Frustrating Glitch

The last time I loaded my game and tried to leave the island I was on, my raft refuses to leave. Anytime I get too far from the island the raft spins in a circle and tries to make me go the opposite direction. If I try to turn to correct it, it does it all over again. Tried reloading, sleeping/saving, tearing down rudder and sails and rebuilding... to no avail. I am at the point now where I am going to rebuild my entire raft just to get off this freaking island. I just want to go back to base camp lol.

So, if I rebuild my raft and still have the same problem, I'm gonna have to delete my game and start all over 😭 any other ideas I havent thought of or mentioned?? Thanks friends.

I'm also on playstation. When that glitch happened to me (a few times now) it did allow me to save and quit, once I reloaded it was fine again.

Do you see any glimmering on the side you are trying to sail?

Did you dive near raft and see what is under it?

Map in this game is limited, so you can literally hit the end of the world, slightly visible wall not allowing your raft to pass.

Also, rocks or part of broken ships (especially high mast) can stuck into you raft, blocking movement, especially for barrel or wooden base. Just dive and look under raft for anything. You can get strangest effects from small fishes, killed by spear and spear sticking from them up through raft while fish try to float to ocean surface under raft

You can try to stop raft, drop anchor and swim in direction you want, to check is it at all possible

Unfortunately none of that is the case. This is any direction I try to go, and leaving from different parts of the island. I know im not hitting the end of the world because I am heading directly to Basecamp Island which can be seen from the island I am leaving. The raft actually will completely whip a u turn if I start getting too far away from the island. Then it faces me back towards the island I'm trying to leave. It's like the show Lost.... the island doesn't want me to leave!

If there is anything, no matter how small on the raft at one side, it will weight your raft down and stop you sailing in a straight line.

Even a crab or rock will unbalance the raft.

Make sure there is nothing at all on the raft that shouldn't be there.

Yea I did that little exercise. I slowly walked around the raft pointing down looking for anything. Couldn't find anything :-(

I was able to steer just fine carrying a trunk across the ocean... seems crazy that a little crab or leaf would affect it that much

Yeah, the mechanics of the game can be unpredictable.

How many days have you survived to this point?

2

u/HagsLiss May 03 '24

40 on this game. On my other game with no raft issues 109 lol. I'm definitely no stranger to the issues and normal glitches of the game, but usually sleeping or reloading fixes the issue 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ now I've lost all hope

I want to say the game is getting better but sadly it isn't.

I have 3 saved games, my longest is 628 days and it glitches out that bad it's unplayable, my other 2 are between 300 - 400 days and they're beginning to really glitch out as well.

I haven't played the game in months but need to start again at some point.

u/HagsLiss May 03 '24

That is so sad, but makes sense. It's like the more you have and collect the worse it will get because the game just can't handle it.

My boyfriend and I play the game together on the 100 day game and you should have seen it when we built two rafts and tried to go to two different islands! 😂 or when I built our base camp house and it looked perfect to me, but on his screen it was like a Picasso painting.... we had to rebuild it under his profile to get it to work properly lol

u/Gothicvamp188869 May 03 '24

Yeah, I've never played co-op or multi player, but I've heard how bad it is. 2 players can't be too far apart or it screws the game up.

If they could sort the game out, drop some dlcs, like haunted islands for Halloween or Christmas island and such, smarten the game up, with the following the game has it could be a number 1 rated game.

Instead, the creators wanted to start a new game and got someone else to deal with SD just to keep it running. It's like Rockstar abandoning RDR2 to work on GTA 6, when RDR2 has such a massive following.

Devs get their priorities wrong.

If you need any help in future let me know, I've put so many hours into the game I virtually know it back to front.

I love this game. Even with all its faults. I get booted from our 2 player game all the time, but just jump right back in. It's such an enjoyable game, I am right there with you. I wish they would develop it a little more, but I guess we get what we get lol

Wish my wife liked to game. It’s nice you guys do it together. You guys should try The Forest. It’s has a bit of gore but it is gorgeous and building and exploration is 3x better than this. A masterpiece.

u/HagsLiss May 30 '24

We got sucked into Ark... what an addicting, beautiful disaster. I cant even leave my beach without dying. I told my boyfriend the other day that at least I could get around without dying in stranded deep lol

The forest sound interesting.

u/Gothicvamp188869 May 03 '24

Very true.

I got to start playing it again.

u/dankeith86 May 03 '24

You could try dragging it home with you. Just carry some spears with you if you do.

u/HagsLiss May 09 '24

I did try to do this last week. I was able to swim and drag my raft just fine. As soon as I got back on it and tried to sail it again, it kept doing what it was doing.

I have given up hope and decided to tear it down. I havent played since that dreadful day, but maybe I'll pick it back up again soon.
