DANGEROUS JEZZA

Playing the 5.0 Public Test on Xbox One (S) Game loads up the title screen then after a short wait I get the LOADING message and the loading circle symbol is active so I know the game has not frozen up on me. Game seems to be hung up on loading screen, I have waited 5 min or more but it wont progress beond the loading screen. Also usually pressing the Xbox guide button brings up the option to quit game but that wont work. All I can is choose either restart or shut dowm

Yes mate I'm having same problem, it also results in me loosing all progress because for some reason I also loose all my auto saves but still have the previous log out save. Because of this I have taken to doing a log out save every 5-10 min. Surprisingly if I do the log out save at 5-10 min intervals then I don not encounter the OUT OF MEMORY ERROR. Although it's not the best solution it has worked for me and I find as long as I exit game and let it do a log out save it seems to stop the error. I have tested this by playing till I encounter the error then replaying the game the same way and doing the same things except I do a exit save at a point before the error occurred. I normally find the error happens when traveling. For example I loaded up my game and was at the Great Oak and traveled to the hedge exploring and collecting resources for around 20 min then returned to the Great Oak, upon getting to the great Oak my game crashed with the out of memory error. I reloaded from the same save at the great oak and repeat a similar game play of traveling to the hedge exploring and collecting resources in a similar fashion as before. Then I traveled to about the half way point between the hedge and great oak and then exited the game, re loaded that log out save I just created and traveled to the great oak without any error. I have forgotten to do regular log out saves on a few occasions and encountered the same OUT OF MEMORY ERROR but when I reload and play the same way but perform the log out save at a point before the error occurred I can play without encountering it. I have the log outs down to a fine art and just do then every 5-10 min its a bit of an annoyance but its better than the game crashing and loosing everything I had done since loading in to the game.

Possible band aid solution or fix for OUT OF MEMORY ERROR is to do a regular log out save (every 5-10 min works for me most of the time) then load the game again. The following explains why I think it works and how I came to discover the band aid fix Had the same OUT OF MEMORY error happen to me a bit. The main issue I have noticed with this out of memory error and the game shutting down is (I think the following could be another bug that causes the game to download saves from the cloud) that upon restarting the game it accesses the cloud saves and all my auto saves are gone the most recent being 3-4 days old. This accessing the cloud and loss of auto saves happens every time I start up Grounded not just when the game shuts down due to the out of memory error, thankfully my log out save always exists. I think it's an issue with auto saves probably not being uploaded to the cloud and then being lost the next time you load the game and it sync's with the cloud. As a result I have been doing log out saves every 5-10 min depending on how much I have done in game. Funny thing is If I do the log out saves regularly then I never experience the out of memory error. So I have kind of stumbled on a way to play and avoid the OUT OF MEMORY error, it's not the best solution and takes time to log out save and reload but for myself it is about 1-2 min in total. I hope this helps others who are experiencing the same out of memory error. P.S. This is on the Xbox S
