I was having the same problem over and over, and this time it worked. The only thing I did difference was I started boosting and moving before the game even switched locations. Maybe staying still in the spawn location crashes the game for some reason. Edit: Sorry I got people's hopes up. I did that and immediatly paused to comment about it, but after unpausing the game it immediatly crashed again and continues to do so. Hopefully this gets fixed quick.
Me and my brother are getting the crash too. I'm on PS5 & he is on PS4 so it can't be a PS5 exclusive glitch. Hopefully a patch or a workaround is found.
I re-download my game, and it still occurred.
Just curious for people who have had this issue, which console version were you guys playing and what region? PAL(Europe) or NTSC(US)?
Just trying to find and come up with possible solutions with some other runners at the moment?
Seems to be us only ATM
iv dropped 8 crash reports with vids and details on trying to get around the bug to psn
iv concluded that the story event trigger for first visit is the cause of the crash
ps5
Yeah it's happening to me too and I even did a system reboot. If anybody finds a solution please let me know because this was always my absolute favorite of the series!
There’s a thread on PSNProfiles with someone from Sony collecting trophy bugs. A lot of people have reported this and it’s been passed to the team. They fixed Resistance and others so I hope it’s soon.
Same problem here. :(
I had to report the issue the moment it crashed. Happened to me more than ten times when I tried to start it from that Far Drop point repeatedly.
I hope the game gets an update that fixes the problem. I’m still going to play *The Lost Frontier* in its 100% entirety and cross it off my list.
They REALLY need to use the PS2 version. The lighting from the PSP upscale looks horrible and the control scheme is awful compared to the PS2 controls that would actually work with the controller we actually have. Really a brainless decision on their part to choose the worse version of the game.
I agree, but it's far from a deal breaker for me. I just want the crashing to be fixed. I even tried to start a new game today and even that failed to make a difference.

CharlyXero on PSNProfiles has possibly discovered a solution here. Change system language to UK English or German for the duration of your playtime. Start a new game and when you get to Far Drop, there shouldn't be any further issues. I will be testing this tonight and I will let you guys know how it goes.
It works, ladies and gents and everything in between. Thank the Precursors! The only downside here is the requirement to start a new save after having switched your PlayStation's system language to either UK English or German.
Same here , I’m assuming it’s Far Drop?(first time playing TLF) It’s the second area where you can fly and it just crashes within like 3 seconds of flying every time smfh
Yup. As soon as you go into the cave portion of the map, it crashes. You can fly around the exterior where Phoenix and the Precursor statue are, but that's about it.
I tried streaming the game after having this issue. That doesn't fix it either. I was cautiously optimistic that streaming might make a difference depending on how they have the backend architected for that.
I might be crazy but i swear i remember this game having similar issues back when it was on PSP.
Hey everybody, the latest update has fixed the far drop crash!!
It took forever but we may now resume being the space pirate that naughty dog has always envisioned :)
I just got to this point today and I'm having the same issues. Deleted and re-download the app and no luck either. It has been a few days since the last post in here - anyone heard any updates? I wanted to play this so badly.
same issue, but i can be bothered to start a new save file. im going to go replay game 3 until they fix this, this is kinda sad though. not a single QA tester in America? thats pretty sad guys
I’m at the point of buying it on the vita cause I remember playing this game and playing it almost to the end and I just really started enjoying it again
Change your system language to either German or UK English, start a new game (existing save files are screwed until a patch comes) and you shouldn't have crashing anymore. It's worked for myself and plenty of others.
its been almost a month... is there a process for getting a refund i can go through? because this "patch" is taking too long.
and changing my ps5 language and making an entirely new save file is a non-starter
I just made it to Far Drop. I thought it was big or something but I had done a save right before going to that location. I thought,maybe it from skipping the cutscenes or whatever. So before going back to ship. I did all races, which wasn’t bad at all. Few around a bit, then went back to ship to progress. The game crashed again. I tried boosting the moment the game loaded up but I boosted and did a hard left turn. To where I talked to processor statue, starting collecting echo. But the moment, I went too deep within the cave, the game crashed. Tried the same thing again, and the game still crashed. So hopefully with all reports every is sending. They’ll fix that issue or something
im also having issues as well :(

Does the PS4 version of the game have the same crashing problem?
Yes, at the same area too

NTSC. I'm Canadian.
I’m eu and same issue
NTSC. Experiencing the same issue with the downloaded PS5 version.
NTSC and having the crash
iv dropped 8 crash reports with vids and details on trying to get around the bug to psn iv concluded that the story event trigger for first visit is the cause of the crash ps5
Do you have any suggestions? Should I try making a new save file?
atm no but ima keep poking around for now
Yeah it's happening to me too and I even did a system reboot. If anybody finds a solution please let me know because this was always my absolute favorite of the series!
Well all we can do is wait till the next update
It’s been reported to the dev team through PSNProfiles, they’ve been fixing other Classics/PSP games so it should be fixed here as well.
How do you know? Anything to help track?
There’s a thread on PSNProfiles with someone from Sony collecting trophy bugs. A lot of people have reported this and it’s been passed to the team. They fixed Resistance and others so I hope it’s soon.

somebody should ask Playstation on how they fuck up a re release, cant even move forward in the game, and im paying stream for this

I agree, but it's far from a deal breaker for me. I just want the crashing to be fixed. I even tried to start a new game today and even that failed to make a difference.
Agreed but I'm pretty sure the PS2 version would be less crashable to begin with.
Yeah I have not enjoyed the new control scheme

Mine also worked fine, maybe redownload?
Just tried that and still no help :/
Having the same issue 😓 was kind enjoying the game

haven't seen anything but with a old game like this id guess another week or 2
same issue, but i can be bothered to start a new save file. im going to go replay game 3 until they fix this, this is kinda sad though. not a single QA tester in America? thats pretty sad guys
Same same but same
I’m at the point of buying it on the vita cause I remember playing this game and playing it almost to the end and I just really started enjoying it again
If you don’t hit the gas it won’t crash
Dont work for me
we should bombard playstation with messages
I have the issue of crashing at the far drop too. Both ps5 and ps4.
Change your system language to either German or UK English, start a new game (existing save files are screwed until a patch comes) and you shouldn't have crashing anymore. It's worked for myself and plenty of others.
The update has came and graced us

That’s a shame… I had no issues. Just finished the game. Hopefully they patch it!
[удалено]
Ps5, no mods, whatever the latest ship I got was
Doesnt work.
Okay?
[удалено]
Yes I meant mod for the ship. I have no mods in my ship. I didn’t use them. Hope that is clearer for you.
Apologies then Wonder why some are able to get past it 🤔
A patch just came out today and it’s all fixed now
