(A copy and paste of my reddit post, got no screenshot or vid sadly, explained in the post)

Great dlc btw, loving it 10/10 fanboying over Abandoned Castle song lol.

But there is a bug in the map and it is very annoying. In the Doppelganger boss fight, as soon as you initiate the fight where the round door opens and the white flash of light happens, it crashes. RIGHT AFTER the flash of light happens, the game just crashes and I'm taken back to the playstation home/hub asking to report to playstation.

This is the 2nd time it has happened, first time as Trevor Belmont, and now with Grant Dynasty. I did send the report to playstation with a clip but sadly it didn't save the clip to my PS5. I normally just skip bug/CRASH reports but this is a exception, the dlc is that fucking good to me and I would like other players to truly enjoy it as much as I do. The Trevor run it happened like right at the start like 3 minutes in but with Grant it was about 10 mins after I got like 7 passives and 4 weapons, it'll just suck if it happened at like 28 minutes when you're trying to get all the unlocks then that happens and bye bye to all that time and progress lol. I didn't evolve the Curved Knife in any previous run and I didn't kill the big bird with the spear and his demon/gargoyle friend boss that you have to do with Grant to unlock Sonia I think, until this specific run whenever it crashed and it didn't save, I have to do those again

Posting this here hoping it reaches the Devs 10/10 DLC already, just that crash sucks

This is a known bug, I believe it's related to checking the bestiary entry of the enemy before fighting it.

I just read the posts and it seems like some weird coincidence that I used those 2 specifically. I'm on playstation tho not pc. I'll do some testing soon tho, eating rn. I've been getting other unlocks at the moment and just not really in the area of the Doppelganger so haven't fought him in a minute, also got in my head of the bosses' names and locations so haven't really been checking the bestiary. But I will be testing. I'm sure others are also

It still could be the same issue with the PC one if assuming the devs code Doppelganger spawning the same way between platforms.
While the bug report is for PC, others have reported the same issue in mobile version, so it might be present in consoles too.
The difference is, afaik if any asset is corrupted in consoles, it will crash the entire game, while if it's on PC or mobile, it won't always resulting in complete crash, but will exhibit weird behavior.

But of course, more testing is always welcome. Also it will help more if you write what game version you're playing in and a better title describing your issue.

Did some testing, give me a min to type it lol

#

OK, so, before I started testing I did have the game up for a good mine while just idle. I'm pretty sure I haven't checked the bestiary for at least maybe an hour, if anything the last few runs is me trying to figure out what items I need to get to evolve whips since I refuse to check the wiki lol. And trying to kill the other bosses which I already knew the names of so I just ran to abon (don't know how to spell his name lol) with soma ect. It's been a few runs since I checked the bestiary but I never closed the game. When I started testing, I got Grant specifically and ran straight to doppel and it crashed

#

Did more testing. You have to check the bestiary, you don't have to specifically just stop and read doppel's lore and how he likes his steak done ect. You just have to skip over his stuff like if you're scrolling very fast.

And it's not just Grant and Trevor, the game did crash with the goodest of boys Ol Sole, Death (red death, mask of death), and antonio

It's like at any certain part while you had the game up and you just so happened to skip over doppel's page while scrolling, it will mess with the code I think, however it works you know. You could have done it 2 hours ago, never closed the game, and just haven't fought doppel until that point
