Death Stranding 2’s Update for July 3 Aimed for Performance Improvements
The latest from the PlayStation Studios XDEV account mentions, “Patch 1.06 for DEATH STRANDING 2 has been delivered. This patch addresses stability improvements and minor bug fixes.”
It doesn’t go in detail what minor bugs were specifically fixed, though there’s at least one player claiming that their progress was lost due to the patch. Over on the game’s subreddit, user BossPi lanents, “Just lost about 2hr of hard work due to the new patch(I think?). I think my last auto save is when the patch dropped and the game just refused to make new save files.”
Continuing, “Just lost about 2hr of hard work due to the new patch(I think?). I think my last auto save is when the patch dropped and the game just refused to make new save files. When I logged back on there is a pop up that says something like “there is a new save file format and your old safe cannot be read.” Has this happened to anyone?”

Instead of “Should we have connected” being the tagline, it should be “Should we have updated” because all of these patches keep breaking more than they fix.
Damn. Does it?
