Video video games are arduous to make. These bizarre, advanced items of intricate interactive software program take years to make and might generally break in very bizarre methods. For instance, gamers of Powerwash Simulator on Xbox seen the sport began crashing rather a lot after they’d hop on-line with others. And whereas a patch is coming to repair this nasty bug, the non permanent resolution from the builders at FuturLab is a bit foolish. Based on them, to cease the crashes, all Xbox gamers want do is keep away from trying on the solar.
Powerwash Simulator is an excellent, stress-free sport about…properly, utilizing an influence washer to wash stuff. (You must have guessed that from the title.) It’s been out for a bit on PC through Steam Early Entry, however solely noticed a full launch yesterday, when it additionally made the leap to consoles through Xbox Recreation Move.
However there’s that a difficulty the place the sport crashes when gamers attempt to clear the world collectively. What might or not it’s? Maybe the servers aren’t working? Perhaps the sport’s internet code is damaged? Or possibly it’s even a difficulty with the best way the sport handles information over a community connection?
Nope! Based on Powerwash Simulator’s official Twitter account, the true offender behind all of the crashing on Xbox is the sport’s use of lens flares, which seem once you search for on the digital solar. As I stated, video video games are bizarre and sophisticated issues. Even sillier and weirder is the dev’s resolution for this situation: Simply cease trying on the solar a lot, you weirdos.
G/O Media could get a fee
FuturLab admitted this “isn’t a great workaround” and apologized to gamers for any inconvenience this bug has prompted. The devs say the problem with lens flares was caught at “the final second,” presumably earlier than the sport shipped. Fortunately, in a follow-up tweet from earlier today, the devs confirmed a hotfix for this photo voltaic hiccup is within the works. It’s due someday subsequent week.
Kotaku has reached out to FuturLab in regards to the scenario and obtained this assertion:
We all know what it’s, are working as quick as we are able to to get it to gamers and have a repair that we hope to get out by the tip of subsequent week.
Within the meantime, fortunately, you may nonetheless play Powerwash Simulator solo to take pleasure in its stress-free cleansing simulation in excellent concord with that fiery orb within the sky.
