StaceyPowers Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 When you run into a bug in a video game, are there certain standard protocols you will try to fix it, because you have noticed they often work? For instance, if I run into a bug in a video game, I will often attempt to load a different area and/or a different game screen, as forcing the bugged zone to reload sometimes fixes it.

Yaramaki Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Reloading an earlier save is likely the first thing i try, quiting the game to the main menu and boot it back up usually helps, in the worst case turning off the console and reload the games does the trick aswell. Some people may even go as far as doing a hard reset but i never had to do it once. I did had to reinstall a game once because it woulden't boot up properly anymore but that was meanly due to a power outage so my save files likely got corrupted.

Aniekwe Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I picked up a line or knowledge from watching Skyscraper where Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) wife knew that in any tech, one of the best ways to fix a problem would be to reboot the system when they were fighting for their lives in the end of movie. They had a tablet that controlled the whole building but it seems like it's suffering from a glitch or a bug, and it was a reboot that fixed it. Sorry I drifted a little there with the whole story. It's the only way I try to deal with bugs in games. Dannyjax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's true rebooting helps to fix a bug or a glitch many times for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have it on my laptop and it was fun like it was the first time I watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the movie only once, though it was a really interesting movie I had to delete to create space for other files. I might get it again and watch if I find the time to do so.

Whenever it keeps hanging and lagging too much, I'll reboot it immediately and when it comes back on, it would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch movies for fun alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies like bluestory, the proposal, GI Joe just to mention but a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 When the game freezes, I have no other option but to switch the console off and switch it on again. I know how weird it is, but that's the only solution for me to correct the bug temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that gives me something that I can use outside the movie and likely in video games just like Skyscraper did with how to fix bugs/glitches, I'm keeping it for a long time.

Heatman Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 From my experience, always reloading an earlier save usually helps me with such bugs. A reboot might work as well but I haven't tried that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to work well in solving that problem for your smartphone and it's all down to your phone RAM being small that such keeps happening.

You got that perfectly right about my smartphone RAM being the cause of the too much hanging of the phone. I had lots of apps that made it so.
