Last weekend, the open beta for TERA took place on the consoles Xbox One and PlayStation 4. However, instead of being a gaming feast, it was rather a gaming nightmare for many players: bugs and crashes made life difficult for eager testers. The next test is scheduled to start later this week.
Last weekend, from March 9 to 12, the long-awaited console beta of TERA took place on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game was actually supposed to come to consoles back in 2017, after being playable on PC in Germany since 2012.
What was supposed to be an enjoyable beta weekend turned into frustration for many players: bugs, lags, and crashes disrupted the MMO fun.
Players express their displeasure on Reddit
On social platforms like Reddit, players reported connection issues and game crashes shortly after the beta launched, and our community was not immune to the problems either.
The connection issues, which primarily affected the PS4 version of the game, were addressed by the publisher EnMasse on Friday evening. To alleviate the situation somewhat, an additional server was set up for both the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
Nevertheless, players faced further difficulties that could hardly be resolved by switching game channels due to the high user numbers: travel function and teleport issues, complications with the UI, menus closing on their own, loading textures, and grey shadows where a NPC should be, as well as crashes of the game or even the whole console.
EnMasse hints at another beta – later this week
EnMasse seems to be aware that the last beta test did not go entirely smoothly. Through Twitter, they advised beta players to keep their installation of TERA for further testing.
Update March 13: According to the latest information (via En Masse), another short test is set to take place later this week.
