Players exploring Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are reporting game-breaking bugs centered around the whip and camera, two essential tools in the game. Frustrated fans have taken to forums like Steam and Reddit to share their experiences.
Whip Issues
Many players report that the whip simply becomes unresponsive mid-game. For instance, one player on Steam reported that pressing the R1 button had no effect. Even reverting to earlier saves only temporarily fixed the problem for some, while others found no solution, leaving them stuck.
"Now I'm further in the game and can't use my whip. Restoring an old save slot doesn't even help. What the hell," wrote one Redditor.
Several players have also reported being soft-locked due to this bug. Despite attempts to reassign buttons, the problem persists, suggesting a code-related issue rather than a controller issue.
Camera Problems
The camera tool is also causing issues, with players unable to equip or unequip it in some instances. Others have reported the camera moving without any player input. These problems prevent players from completing necessary tasks like taking photos and solving puzzles that require the whip.
Workarounds and Player Frustrations
The primary workaround has been rolling back to an earlier save, which is not ideal given that this results in loss of progress. The issue is affecting multiple platforms, including Xbox Series X, suggesting it's not platform-specific.
"I can only go back to Marshall College… after all the gameplay I did in Italy. I don’t think rolling back is a fix. It could happen again!" vented a frustrated player on Steam.
Players are calling for a patch from the developers, but there has been no official acknowledgment of the issue yet. We will be monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available.
