This is the thread for reporting bugs and issues found by the community. Please take in consideration that since a Day 1 patch is expected to be released we have to start posting problems after the update is installed. If the patch is not available on Day 1 bugs of the current version can be posted always informing that it has been found in the pre patched version.

I have been working in the QA business since 2013, currently testing apps but worked on game testing until end 2017, I have worked during 4 seasons at EA Certification checking that titles complied with Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and PC publisher requirements. Also I have worked for one year as a Technical Game Analyst at Gameloft, testing but also assigning categories and what time should fixes bugs to the dev team. And some months on King testing mobile games. I am here to bring my experience to try to help Shenmue I & II to be at their best and to help Sega and D3T to understand what we have found in an efficient and easy manner.

There is one critical point when reporting issues in the QA business, you have to give concrete explanations and be as clear as possible, just think that the people reading the issue does not nothing about and how to find it and determine what is causing it and how to fix it.

Critical information present when reporting bugs:

Current Version:
PS4: 1.0.1
Xbox One: 1.0.3
Steam: 1.03 (previous 1.02)

Title: What is happening. Short clear description

Platform: In which platform does it happens. Cross information between platforms to determine is a hardware specific issue or it happens in all of them (when possible)

Title Version: The game version where the issue were found. Read updated info above. This is one of the most important points for the team to check if they know it already or if it is a new one.

Category: What feature is affected by the issue. Functionality, settings, audio, video, gameplay, cutscene, save data, control.

Status: Is the issue occurring in the latest build of the game? If it is not fixed mark as Not Fixed (and version of the title if possible). When it is fixed update to Fixed (and version when it was fixed). UPDATE NEW STATUS ADDED: WNF for Will Not Fix when the reported behaviour is also present in the original Dreamcast or Xbox Version of the title. Also implementing Claim Fixed when the studio report a know behaviour as fixed, it will be in this status for two weeks and if nobody reports that is still present it will be closed as Fixed. If a Fixed behaviour is broken with a new update it will be classified as Reopen.

Priority: How severe is the impact of the bug in the user experience? Please understand that the final priority to fix or not a bug is up to SEGA/D3T, but in this case is a measure of how the user perceive it.

Reproduction Steps: How to get to reproduce the issue, this is critical for the game team to replicate it and determine what is causing it and how to fix it.

Observed Result: What is happening (similar to title)

Expected Result: What was suppose to happen instead of the bug.

Guys, I know these games have not been perfect upon release, but we want to help in any way we can, and this topic will hopefully do that.

If you can post as much information as you can in regards to platform, game version and bug description, that would be welcomed. But serious comments only please. We will be deleting posts that appear, saying things like, "the bloom is awful!!!!", and, "the controls don't work right", for example. Please use common sense, and remember that you are not posting to moan, you are posting to highlight, and ultimately help.

This will hopefully stand as a topic that can not only help other players, but perhaps act as a standalone location for any lurking developers of the forums.
 
Also would a screenshot/video clip be useful? I hope the forum upload options are easy to use.

Additionally would the top post have an easy to read list of all bugs already posted, so we don't get unnecessary duplicates?

They are, and yes very welcomed! But most importantly, platform and version number. If an image is posted, it's useless without knowing the hardware it's running on etc.

I found that when I restarted my ps4 the issues went away!


I just started shenmue 1 and cinematics don't show correctly.
For instance: When reading a letter in residence and also while near the tree.
Further more When in Dojo.
Is this a known problem?

Reproduction Steps:
Launch Shenmue 1 > 2nd day -> go to Dojo to learn Pit Blow
 
Just to say, every bug you guys have listed in the PS4 version 1.01, aren't present in the Xbox version 1.03

You ps4 users are an update behind. I've been playing the xb1 version since Saturday and haven't experienced any of these bugs. The only ones I have noticed on Xbox are the bloom turning on when opening the notebook, the game being too dark and the blacks being crushed, and sound issues on QTE title.
 
I was watching this guy play the game on Youtube and he got a weird glitch when trying to practice in the parking lot (starts at 42:07). :eek: Don't know if this has been fixed in any of the patches yet.

achievements are working on Xbox. Mine have been popping ever since I started playing on Saturday. It's just that the game hub page hasn't gone live yet so you won't be able to see your achievement list or the game hub itself. I'm sure this will change within the next few hours. You can still unlock achievements when you hit the criteria. It's just you won't be able to view the achievement list at the moment.

And yea it says I'm at 'home' when I'm playing them as well. It will be sorted soon

Wow. I dont really know what to say to that, looks like someone has their work cut out for them to get all this back proper. What in the world happened to QA?
