Recently, a game-breaking bug for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been discovered, preventing players from proceeding through the game’s story until the bug is patched. The Jedi: Survivor bug affects a certain boss, giving it unlimited health and preventing the player from beating it.
A bug report was made on the EA Answers website, with multiple users also mentioning the same problem in the replies. Spoiler warning: the post does contain the boss’s name. You can find the bug report here. Essentially, if you defeat the boss while the boss kills you at the same time, the boss will respawn in subsequent attempts with unlimited health. Its health remains unchanged even after restarting the game, which essentially results in players being unable to continue playing the story. You will also be unable to backtrack or fast-travel to the boss, either.
The report is as follows (spoiler warning):
Product: STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor
Platform:Xbox Series S
Summarize your bug Me and rayvis traded during our fight, so now rayvis is in a broken state were I can not kill him, even when I restarted my game/console he is still in the same broken state, so now I can’t progress through the game at all
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? To get the bug to occur, die at the same time you defeat rayvis
What happens when the bug occurs? When the bug occurs the player gets locked into one area with a boss that can not be defeated
What do you expect to see? expect to see a fix to rayvis or a way to load into a previous save
The bug was posted on Reddit to warn players, with the original poster stating that players shouldn’t “risk boss battles” and to restart the fight if things get dicey. Unfortunately, this means that you can’t simply take down bosses haphazardly, so you’ll want to play safe if you want to avoid running into the bug. Fortunately, EA and Respawn are aware of the issue, with a member of the team claiming that they are “working on a fix for this now.” No timeline was given regarding the bug, so affected players will have to wait until it’s patched in a later update.
Jedi: Survivor is dealing with quite a few bugs and issues as of late, with a recent one causing players’ pre-order bonus items to disappear. Outside its performance issues and bugs, however, Jedi: Survivor is a good game; you can read our review of it here.
