by One of the big "day one" Xbox Game Pass releases of September has been RuneScape: Dragonwilds, marking Runescape's official debut on the platform, although unfortunately it's suffering with a pesky issue on consoles.
For those who haven't played it yet, this isn't the game that made RuneScape famous, but rather a co-op survival adventure title that first arrived on PC and has now debuted on console alongside its 1.0 launch.
We'd seen suggestions that the game had been exhibiting a few bugs and crashing issues during its first few days on Xbox, and now Jagex themselves have revealed that some players are struggling with a corrupted saves problem:
"We're aware that following the release of 1.0, there has been an issue corrupting your world saves. The entire QA and development teams are working flat-out to resolve this issue. We have some leads that we are investigating and it does look hopeful. We do not want to speak definitively about the fix until it has been thoroughly tested. As we previously discussed in our last update, we do not want to deploy a patch that could potentially risk disconnecting you from your world, in turn introducing a risk of corrupting more saves. We are not comfortable committing to a release that we are not convinced will resolve this issue, or at the very least protect and prevent more players being affected by this problem.
We want to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to resolve this, working directly with the console platforms to get more and more information. It just takes time for us to ensure we are doing the right thing. We are working to reduce the risk to your saves and your progress while also ensuring that we can deploy a meaningful, impactful patch that can resolve the issue with minimal disruption once verified."
It should be noted that not everyone appears to be suffering from this issue, and it's clear that Jagex is taking it very seriously - we assume it'll be resolved at some point early next week all being well.
For now though, we want to get your initial feedback on RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Have you noticed any issues like this or other bugs, or is it performing as you'd expect? Tell us in the comments.
We'll throw a poll down below as well for you to give us your initial verdict on RuneScape: Dragonwilds, and please do feel free to elaborate. We haven't got around to playing this one yet, but we're keen to do ASAP!
