As Square Enix tries its best to move up the slope after the critical and commercial failure of Marvel’s Avengers, the latest update has revealed a new bug to say the least embarrassing. Indeed, for a few hours, many players have realized that their personal data (name, nickname, IP address and other unidentified numbers) appeared on the game screen. A concern all the more major today, in the age of streaming when players do not hesitate to share their games on Twitch, YouTube or social networks. Square Enix responded very quickly, and a post on the game’s official Twitter account suggested people not to steam the game while the issue persisted. Of course, the technical teams are already on the job and hope for a return to normal as soon as possible. In the meantime, this is yet another blow to the title which has been taking a hit since its launch last September, but which nevertheless continues to fuel its content with new additions, like the Cosmic Cube and the MCU costume for Captain America.
We are currently testing a solution to the issue of personal information, including the player’s IP address and username, being displayed on screen on PS5 and plan to deploy a hotfix tomorrow at around 8AM PT.
