I’ve been playing Humankind on the game pass on Xbox (series S) and for the first while there were no issues. I played a tutorial game, and a couple others I had to restart due to early mess ups, and everything loaded great even up to later turns! And then it happened. Eventually, I tried to start a new game, and the loading bar got to 1/4 and crashed, kicking me back to Xbox home. I tried messing with all the settings, deleted all lingering saves, cleared some xbox cache data, and repeatedly it’d still crash at exactly that same loading point. Then I realised that before the crashes I’d updated my AI persona with the “Peace & Love” bias cuz I’d unlocked it, and I removed it. Instantly the new game loaded with not even a hiccup! I even tried starting another new one and it loaded too just fine. Not sure why the bias that doesn’t even effect the game in a single player vs ai match caused those crashes but if anyone is having that issue I recommend just clearing all the player AI persona stats just in case.
