Just Cause 3 - First-ever documented instance of The Big Glitch fixing itself
5Something I should say: terrain being slow to load and being in its low-poly form for a while is NOT the same as The Big Glitch. I gave it that name because I'm the only person to not only experience it the most amount of times, but also document it thoroughly.
When The Big Glitch happens, which is random with current technical knowledge of the game, ALL of the following happen all at once:
- The game completely stops loading new assets.
- Terrain Level of Detail freezes, letting you explore the distant ones (a.k.a. clay world).
- All vehicles and NPCs stop spawning.
- Beacons stop working due to the previous effect.
- Rebel Drop uses incorrect icons for vehicles and DLC weapons.
- Vehicle mounted weapons have their icons disappear.
- Game can't load any voice lines whatsoever.
- Any active FOWs stop working.
- If there was a mission active, it immediately softlocks.
- Dying or using Fast Travel causes the loading screen to be infinite and lack any images.
The Big Glitch can be found in some videos on YouTube, and I have a whole playlist of it happening, this now being in that playlist. On top of all that, there's been 5 instances where I couldn't record it in time, earlier today being one of those times.
But out of every time it's ever happened since the game was released, The Big Glitch has been permanent until the game is restarted.... until the events of this video! I managed to catch it when it happened and started recording. To my complete shock, as I took off in a nearby helicopter, it completely fixed itself, the game returning to normal as if nothing weird happened. This might be useful in figuring out what causes it, as it's never recovered before.
This is a major event in Just Cause 3 glitch history, and it's a festivous miracle I was able to get a recording of it.
