Enough is Enough FIX THE BLUE SCREEN ERROR

[TC915]

Haha my punishment/reward for posting about the flaws in the comp/tourney events was only 2 or 3 error disconnects (actually less than yesterdays qualifier), much more of the overlays constantly disappearing, 23lbs of non qualifying species & a whopping 2 Tigers = 4.095lbs; gotta love it!! And before I get the usual "wrong spot/lure" reply, I'll let it be known was in contact with several folks that were actually catching qualifying species, used same spots/lures & even went thru the entire ingame & ubersheet list of lures/baits for each species + quite a few others just to be thorough. I consider myself only a decent FP player but know a few folks that by any standard are considered top FP players & they had similar results. But bet all is well & event was working as intended!  

 

 

[Hate_ful]

Same here its was our punishment .

 

[Tmif]

It makes no sense. I did well at basically just one spot using probably 3 basic lures. Still had 1 blue error, another error that made me restart, flickering overlay, and mis-sorted keepnet. And I didn't get to keep a fish at the end that probably should have counted(it was really close).

[Violentvole]

TC195...you were in the wrong spot. Or you pushed square twice. Or your HDD is corrupted.

You must know by now faults are never, ever on their end. Therefore it's your broadband 

[Rodrigoskybox]

First tiger trout cash and first blue error, 10 mn later first trophy catch and second blue error and after more two time.. you defenely lost a premium member even you solved this problem now i dont care

[SabiScs]

wow qualifier2 only 1 error

[Walleyewhisperer]

Didn’t ever get a blue screen until I entered a competition last night.  Seems to be linked to comps based on the majority of what players are saying.  Got a bite, frame rate slowed, then there it was... my first blue screen as I was in the top 5 of a comp at the time.  This needs to be fixed ASAP!

[X-xH3aDxS4o7x-X]

2nd qualifier I had 5 blue screeens, and didn't get a single bite in the first 45 minutes until I reset the app. I was just going to quit, then came back a couple of hours later and nearly qualified. That 45 minute glitch screwed me though.

As someone who is quite new to the Fishing Planet World, I was quite surprised by - and never really understood - the tone and all the hate in this forum. I love the game, and I quite like a lot of the changes you guys made to the game mechanics, e.g. changing water depths and behaviour of the lures. As a newcomer, I took the "nerdy approach": watched a lot of YouTube videos, found out about the Ubersheet, spent days and weeks grinding for level 40, comparing and calculating rod/reel combinations, traveling the FP world trying to catch uniques, working on my spinning techniques etc. pp.

And yeah, it's frustrating to watch a video guide (from 2 years ago) on how to catch a specific fish or win a tournament, and then realize that the tactics don't work anymore, because the mechanics have changed. But I like the fact that you won't have any success anymore with stupidly reeling in your crankbait on drag 1 or 2, drilling like a maniac, and catching everything you need.

BUT, and here's where things changed: It was all good, until I started doing competitions. Until now, I've had 17 (!) blue screen errors CE-34878-0 since May 21st. I managed to do around 2-3 competitions WITHOUT getting the blue screen error. And it's really bugging the Crappie out of me.

Yesterday, I wanted to compete in the Neherrin Minimal competition for the first time. I've always had trouble with hooking and catching the smalles of the smallest, and wanted to work on that. I spent 2-3 (real-life) hours watching YouTube-videos, changing my setup, trying different reeling techniques, getting frustrated and wanting to give up. But at some point it clicked, and I was finally able to hook 9/10 fish. It was all chill, and I was catching one fish after another - until.. I entered the competition..

First (!) catch, blue screen. Restart. All the overlays start flickering like crazy. Restart again. Overlays still flickering. My PS4 fans crank up into 6th gear like my console is about to explode. I do catch a lot of plastic bags and weeds, but can hardly catch any fish, cause FP suddenly turned from a chill game you enjoy while sitting on the couch into some combination of a crying baby that just won't shut up and your ex-girlfriend running around the house breaking shit and IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!!1!

Leave the competition halfway through, turn off my console, get a beer, watch a movie, calm down.

I honestly don't know if the issues are FP or PS4 related. I did some googling and found out that there are other games that also have (or had) blue screen errors en masse. People complaining to the game developers, the developers telling people to contact Sony, Sony telling people to contact the game developers, aaaand here we go again. But this crap is really ruining the game for me, and (from what I read in the forums) many other people. Once you reach level 40, the competitions, for me, are really where it's at. Or where it could be at. Can't imagine how somebody would prepare for, and take part in a tournament like the virtual bass open, and NOT throw his (or her) controller at the screen.

Long story short: I really love the game, but the competitions on PS4 are gone to shits. And I really do dope that you can find the bug(s) and fix it.

[Hate_ful]

I have only had Blue errors since patch 1.08 . I can play all other games without problem . I have done everything that was suggested with no luck . I hope they figure it out soon .

 

[mitderplatte]

Yeah, I think I do remember things getting laggy after patch 1.08, too.

Today I tried some of the suggested troubleshooting tips. Cleaned the cooling system, freed up some space on the PS4s internal drive and rebuilt the database. It seemed the menu got a little less laggy in the beginning, but it wasn't for long. Took part in the best 5 bass competition in Oregon today, just to see if it helped anything. About half-way in I got the blue screen error again. Same procedure as every time: Reeled in the fish, took it out of the water, the stats show up for a second, shit starts freezing, blue screen. Restarted the game, HUD is flickering. A little less than yesterday, but still.. This is not an enjoyable way of playing the game.

EDIT: @Devs: Here's a quick video of my competition experience yesterday. Unfortunately the PS4 stops recording as soon as the game crashes, so I won't be able to include the blue-screen in the video.

spelling. added video.

Was in the VBO Tournament and am 99.9% sure I had a uni smallmouth on my line (I’ve fished enough to know the difference) and guess what happens..... “BLUE”

Ended with 45.250 pounds so quite possibly that fish could have made the difference in qualifying.

The major point is I really don’t care if I make it to the next round. I have fun in the game, but what isn’t fun is being at a pinnacle moment in the game and it is ruined by an issue many players experience quite often especially in competitions. 

FIX THIS DAMN ISSUE ALREADY FP!

[Rodrigoskybox]

Yeap, i lost a trophy and i finish with almost 22 kg.. if i keep the trophy it will be the 5 first place. Once again you sucks fp

VBO Qualifier I in Michigan, just now. Got a blue screen while drilling the fish. Couldn't even get it out of the water. Damn I hope that doesn't happen to anybody who's having a unique on the line...

EDIT: 2nd blue screen while the fish was biting and controller vibrating.

Edited June 13, 2018 by alohastone

[Walleyewhisperer]

Oh yeah and I had no problems pulling out about 10 shells and 10 other pieces of crap without a blue screen so you’ve got that working just right!

(But it apparently doesn’t affect catch rates..... lol)

[Hate_ful]

Had 3 errors in the VBO and still haven't gotten X series frog popper that disappeared when blue screened

 

[Hate_ful]

Lost 3 fish due to error seemed like 1 was a big one but ill never know.

 

[mitderplatte]

I feel you brother. Sorry for your loss

But, apart from the blue screens, it seems to be running quite well today. Just some small lags and no flickering.

[Violentvole]

I paid the entry fee then remembered about the bluescreen issue so didn"t bother doing the qualifier.

Pretty poor show having a tournament when so many people are having this issue.

[Del_Udy]

I have not had any blue screens since the Char Chargers. I have also not done any comps or touraments. Think I'll stick to just fishing til it is fixed

[mitderplatte]

Cool, 2nd Qualifier, 3rd fish, blue screen again (while hooking). God this shit's annoying..

[J.Mitchell WV]

Enough is enough. I'm made as hell and not going to take this abuse much longer.Round 2 qualifier, just 10 minutes ago, 45 minutes in, 55lbs. Lookin' good. Chompin' at the bit. Pause the game to have a drink & light a cig...resume game...horn blows & informs me tourny is over. What  he fuck! And dumb ass me purcashed the VBO pack just Tuesday in good faith, and to throw a few bucks into the game. Bullshit with a capital B.

Decided to brave this qualifier. Caught loads of regulars with no problems, I'm bracing myself for what happens when I hook a uni. Put controller down then rant and rave, not throw controller at TV.

Actually, I'm sat here wondering how the hell this guy has 10 bass averaging 9.5lbs when everyone else is catching regular and the odd trophy.

FP - 2 games in one.

[Tmif]

Top 5 for most of my tourney until the uni time starts everyone passed me by. Managed to catch an 11 lber. Smallest fish in net was 7.1 lb and last I checked was 15 lbs behind. And as soon as the horn sounds.....blue error!

[Violentvole]

I blued.
