Surprise Nier Automata update finally fixes crater crash issue on PS5… several years later

As a long-time fan of Nier: Automata, I can’t help but feel elated and relieved by Square Enix’s recent release of patch 1.07. For years, PlayStation 5 players have been plagued by the crater crash bug, an issue that made it impossible to progress beyond a certain point in new-game plus. This problem was a source of frustration for many, myself included, as we watched our fellow PS4 players continue their journeys through this masterpiece of a game.

It’s quite unexpected to witness a seven-year-old game like Nier Automata receiving a fresh update in the form of patch 1.07. To our astonishment, this is the case! The update aims to resolve an issue that has troubled PS5 players for a long time – the crater crash bug.

Square Enix appeared to ignore this problem as it has existed in the PS5 version of Nier Automata since the console’s launch, which equates to four years of frustration for players on PS5. The glitch didn’t occur on the PS4, and there might not be a solution due to the lack of a performance patch specifically for Nier on PS5.

Nier Automata update fixes major bug

In the game’s new-game plus mode, reaching a particular point can cause the entire experience to come to a halt in an unwelcome way, referred to as the crater crash issue. This glitch has been troubling players for quite some time and is arguably the most frequently reported bug on the game’s Reddit forum.

To put an end to the persistent crashing concerns, Square rolled out patch 1.07 as a solution. This fix is now accessible on both PS4 and PS5 platforms. However, it seems that the issue with the PS5 version, specifically the crater crash, has been separately tackled in this update. Additionally, reports suggest that the update has also remedied other instances of the game crashing for various users.

As a gamer, I’ve been following the buzz in the Nier subreddit about the recent patch. People are thrilled and can’t believe it! One user exclaimed, “Is this for real? They fixed it now?” Another player shared, “I endured the whole game on my less-than-ideal PC setup because of that persistent issue. But wow, this update is a game-changer!” It’s clear that many gamers are elated about Square finally tackling this longstanding problem.
