    On xbox series x, this update did not address the main mission back to slag heap glitch at sawmill where you cannot enter the building properly to talk to Star and progress the mission. I have been locked out of the main mission progression for over a month and while exploring the rest of the map and accumulating 200k coupons and items, still cannot play the main mission. Absolutely ridiculous

    Good to hear. My hope is that as more developers adopt UE5, we'll see a community working to improve the engine to deliver higher quality experiences. It's been a rough start for UE5, but hopefully developers will use skillz to optimise the game rather then lower the internal resolution, and depend on upscaling.
