A Fix For The Division's Big Glitch Is Coming
Players have been complaining about Ubisoft’s The Division acting strangely lately. The game’s been randomly freezing for some folks; others have had loading screens continue indefinitely. The unluckiest recipients of the glitch have found themselves locked out of their accounts entirely.
The culprit? A bug that’s activated through the crafting system. Seems that, currently, if you craft a high-end backpack, that item will then disappear from your inventory and its ghost will start causing mischief. It’s possible to hit the glitch by crafting other high-end items too, but currently it most commonly happens with a backpack. The bug occurs in all versions of the game.
Unfortunately you’re going to have to wait about a week for the fix. Ubisoft has announced they’re working on a patch to remove the glitch, but it’ll take some time. The patch is not due out until April 12. Until then, just say no to backpacks.
