Hey guys,

There is currently a bug that makes it so players aren't able to gain experience points in Freeports on Single Player and Non-Dedicated. The good news is that we've fixed this internally, a patch will be going out for PC tonight and we've got a fix with Microsoft (including a bunch of other stuff), so hopefully, that can go out as soon as possible.

In the meantime, there are some possible workarounds that could be explored via cheats or changing your server settings.

Workaround 1:

Before starting a single-player or non-dedicated session, you can change the game settings to increase certain things such as the rates. This will make it so you can harvest and gather the items much more quickly without tools in order to acquire a ship and sail off the Freeport grid.

Workaround 2:

You can use cheats! First of all, to unlock the cheat bar, do the following:

Go to the pause menu and simultaneously press LB+RB+X+Y to pull up the admin bar.

Now that you...

It's actually a bug with Freeports atm, we do have a fix submitted to certification (and we'll be releasing it today for PC, as it's clientside only). Have just posted this thread in the bug section:

I know this ruins the new player experience in these game modes atm so hopefully these workarounds can help you manage until we get the fix through certification!

Clearing the remote inventory on exit should resolve the issue. We have a bug filed on this and are planning a hotfix ASAP with the FPS issue.

Both of these aspects are by design

Mm it may be because the ladder is too close to the ground, it's something we do want to tweak. If you try looking towards the bottom of the ladder or the lower 1/3 that might help.

We have 1 major fix for stalls/perf coming in this upcoming client patch, and the patch following that one will fix another major one (the most common people experience). There are some temp workarounds that can be explored right now:

Servers from Nitrado will be available after this first client patch goes out --> it's currently in cert

This crash sounds likely related to the party issue which was identified last night, additional info:

As for this, do you have multiple controllers plugged into/selected on the Xbox? We've had similar reports and the outcome has been to try the other controllers out.
