Maneater Hotfix Is Live

I am really upset! 2 weeks of waiting for that patch and the game is still crashing at launch.
And the worst is that Epic considers that I have totaled 3 hours of playing time whereas I have not even seen 1 pixel of the game launch menu.

The worst game release experience ever!

I bought this game almost three weeks ago now when it came out in Xbox One. I have an Xbox one X and since the game came out I have not been able to to play past the first ten minuets of the game. I have contacted Microsoft several times and they told me to “submit a ticket” on your support website. I have submitted several ticketed complaints over the last two weeks and haven’t heard back. You guys told us to expect an update by the end of the week and here we are with no update. Now you are telling us “maybe Monday”. I have requested a refund from Microsoft because this is just bull****, and I really hate being that guy, but I’m going to be that guy. It’s really a shame too because I was actually looking forward to playing this game for awhile now. Let me guess, you guys have no plans on compensating players who bought the game on launch and still haven’t been able to play. If this post isn’t falling on deaf ears then you can contact me at [email protected].
Are you playing the disc or download version? If the disc check for scratches.

Hello and thank you for the awesome game. I encountered a bug today, where I finished the game AFTER collecting everything and I noticed that the Grotto in Crawfish Bay still highlights when I use Sonar as Uncollected but I can fast travel to it etc. ... I am currently stuck at 99% Story completion and cannot get the Platinum Trophy on PS4 :( Hoping that this info can help as I have seen others with similar issues getting the "Queen of the Ocean" trophy.

I applied for a refund today and although I've been able to play less than 2 hours because of the crashes, I am denied because it's been past 14 days and still no patch

it seems that they are over welmed by these bugs. and are rushing these patches out. it takes time people, so please be patient with Tripwire.

I for one have played the Game on Xbox One and PS4, Both 2 X each. I know ther's bugs but if I can be patient, so can others be patient.

I am usually the guy who gives a 2nd chance.
But when we have got an official release date and we paid the full price of the game. We expecte to not have critical bugs.

At this stage, it is more like the release of a pre-alpha or an early access game.

Well here's a (somewhat) unique situation it seems, even though it's not in some ways. But I put it here as feedback.

System: PS4 Pro

I played the game starting from v1.03. I managed to get 100% in all areas except The Gulf, I left out the final boss battle, which indicated The Gulf as 98% complete.
I aquired the following prior to fighting the final boss:
All license plates in all areas
All landmarks in all areas
All caches in all areas
All evolutions and their respective parts (Bone, Shadow, Electric) - maxed out
All organs - maxed out
I opened all three gates by tailwhipping an object into the switches which triggered them to open

This left me with two trophies left in the game:
Queen of the Ocean
Platinum

I backed up my save to the cloud with the above progression before fighting the final boss.

Went ahead and finished the game. Queen of the Ocean didn't unlock, which of course blocked out the Platinum.

The game is now v1.04.
I re-downloaded my save from the cloud, leaving me with the final boss to complete and with all of the above unlocked.

Now, before battling the final boss I swam to each area of the game, since that's supposed to trigger glitched items and what not.
I also fast travelled to each area to be on the safe side.
Now, with all this in mind, I went ahead and finished off the final boss. I left all cutscenes and credits rolling and ended up with a splash screen indicating 100% game completion.

Queen of the Ocean didn't pop. So I once again swam to each area (post-game) and also fast travelled to each area. Queen of the Ocean still doesn't trigger.

I pause the game, enter the Log-tab and it says:
STORY COMPLETE: 99%

My only guess is that some random minor side mission (e.g. eating 10/10 fish) which isn't tied to unlocking a trophy or in-game item simply hasn't registered as complete but still received a checkmark. Could this be the case?

I see that the patch notes include this scenario:
(NOTE: This does not fix quests that show as being completed or objectives fulfilled but the reward was not given. This will be addressed in another update.)

Alot of people has reported not being able to unlock evolutions, they get their saves corrupted, their game crash or they encounter a glitch where the player shark would revert to the prologue mother shark. None of this has happened to me.

This leaves me with the conclusion that some quest during my playthrough hasn't registered as complete but has a checkmark on it.
I'm keeping my old cloud save in the cloud since it contains what I believe is everything done except the final boss. It effectively leaves me with nothing else but to finish the game to aquire 100% (in theory).

Also, I noticed on the "Game Complete Summary Screen" under 'Player Progress' that the time spent on the game is 30 hours and 7 minutes.
But when I enter Play (as in load a game, from the main menu) it says 6 hours and 7 minutes. Is this just a graphical glitch or is it tied to something bigger?

I've attached a couple of screenshots.

I'd appreciate feedback on this scenario.
