Hey there. Us on the GOG platform are still patiently waiting to also enjoy this update. How come it isnt available and when can we expect it??
Having no luck trying to upgrade my PS4 disc. Only purchase option showing is the full game at $49.99.
I have the PS4 disc. it's in the PS5 console. I have even tried uninstalling the whole thing and reinstalling from the disc. Now it's downloading the update 1.81 file but I still cannot get any offer to upgrade to the remaster version for $10. Everything I can find online just says to put in the disc and the offer appears on screen. No. It doesn't. Help.
I buy the dlc on steam
I have a Dualsense and a Dualsense edge. Both have no Haptic or vibration.
With steam input, I can see with the option than the game recognises the controller has a PS4 controller even if you chose the PS5 steam input profile. So with steam input you have the vibration of the PS4 controller.
If steam input is off the game recognises the controller has a Dualsense but no haptic and no vibration.
Downloaded the update and now the game simply won't launch from Steam. At all. The threads are full of people complaining about a multitude of issues, ranging from not being able to play, lost save games, sound glitches, graphic glitches, and on all platforms.
What a disaster. No comment from Bend anywhere so far as i Can see.
The Dev team uploaded this CATASTROPHE on a Friday afternoon and then sodded off for the weekend. They should all be fired!
This update broke surround sound on the PC.
I was about to buy the DLC but now I'm waiting until a patch. I use the surround sound as a game function, I hear the freakers 360 degrees around me as I play. Not having that ability any more is like losing a limb.
First time poster long time player both PC and PS4/5 vers.
I recently updated my PC version and the game no longer plays. It crashes to destktop after the 2nd splash screen plays (Bend Studios). Notably the audio is clipping and outputting at a low bit rate (well at least it sounds that way).
Having modded it i decided to simply purge the game install and localnow (both Bendnow and Days Gone folders) and reinstall from scratch.
Still no luck.
I've updated to the latest Nvidia driver (562.02), latest Realtek driver (something dated in 2024), reinstalled the game twice now. I even repaired my Visual c++ library. Reinstalled a 3rd time.
I have no other ideas.
Can someone give us information from the CrashReports analytics as to what systems are CTD'ing so we can start to work out what the common thread is. How many of the player base is crashing out? Is it Nvidia, old intel CPU's or Asus mboards that are crashing? Is it a driver issue
is there any way to undo patch 1.08 and go back to 1.07? i don't like it and it is too dark at night now making the game unplayable it was perfect before, i have 4K mini-led HDR1000 monitors, and everything is dark blue now why didn't you guys make it black? it looks like a never-ending fog mist or something. then we have sound glitches galore not sure what climax studios did, but they ruined a great game IMO. while i do appreciate the growler being added to the game i have found one location it is in the back of a military vehicle, we cannot get in to use it lol, maybe they can add options for the nighttime modes, so it doesn't look so dark and blue?
Please fix the PC version. Since the patch last week (24 April), sound is muffled and is VERY low. It only happens in this game and I have a USB gaming headset. It appears the game is bypassing my headset's software equalizer setting and just playing the unaltered sound which is very low and muffled, making dialog hard to hear.
If I use FxSound, that fixes it, but then I notice other issues. For example, when revving up the motorcycle, the engine is VERY loud. When I let off the throttle, the engine sound is very low. The difference between the two is jarring.
Also, FPS has dropped for me at 1440p on high settings from 60+ fps to 45-50 fps. There are many hitches going on in cut scenes and in-game that were not there prior to the patch to apply the graphical upgrades.
I decided to start a NewGame+ of this fantastic game since there was a recent update. Unfortunately the update broke my game. I can no longer fire weapons. Deke's hands are empty. There is one 9mm in inventory and he is wearing a sidearm in a holster, but I cannot shoot, melee or nothing. It's as if his arms are broken. I am using an xbox controller on WIndows 11 PC, but keyboard controls are not working either. I verified the files in Steam client and they were alright. Should I not have all of my old weapons (shotgun) in a New Game + ?

Please add ps overlay/trophies support
Maybe a stupid question but how do I enable the PS overlay. Shift-F1 doesn't appear to do anything while in the game and I see nowhere in the settings or game properties. I have Limited Data collection in the lower left corner of the screen, but I see nowhere to enable the overlay
Hi Kenny. PS overlay is not available in this game. I hope they add overlay/trophies. I have platinum trophy on PS4 version but now I play on PC so I want platinum trophy in new version
