OP
Misleading tweet, the rest of the thread suggests the main story is glitched but they were able to dick around in the open world.
edit: Nevermind, this is the important bit.
Wait:
"The issue occurs around 6-8 hours into the main campaign (during a mission called - I kid you not - 404) upon which players are told their console is to shut down, as it's designed to, because of overheating - which it duly does."
You mean, that the game is doing something to the console that it actually overheats to shut down the console? And it (the game) was designed to do that? what?

So the mission bug causes the console to actually overheat at that one point in time or does it just shut your console down as if it did overheat(but didn't) due to some misaligned string of code?
Heads up everyone. A hot fix is coming Oct 30 for this issue. And a second belief patch on Nov 9. But look at how badly the game crashes on my PC in my review :/
she posted a few hours later that after the console was cold, it turned on again.. but still, thats fucked up.
That's wild. People throw around "unplayable" a lot these days, but in this case it's totally accurate.
Yeah, I don't really understand what that line's trying to convey.

After my first read I thought that the mission was designed to cause overheat xD

Sounds ridiculous all around. Kinda worried a lot of games coming out in the next month will be buggier than usual given such an important stretch of development is being hit by covid + having to hit so many versions. Hope this is just an outlier.
Overheating error? Wouldn't be the first. Battlefront 2 had this problem massively when you're extremely close to a massive explosion, as well as Kingdom Hearts 3 when a specific effect showering attack happened.
But if you know where exactly it happens you can overcome it by pressing the Xbox button or holding it for the shut down overlay so you have the overlay in front of whatever causes the problem/stresses the cpu and it doesn't overheat in that moment.
If you're affected by this, try this.

Seriously was there ever proof that a game actually bricks a console? All these cases in the past felt like coincidences.
i think it's badly written, i parsed it as:
at the end of this mission some bug in the game causes my console to overheat. the console shuts down to protect itself from overheating (as it is designed to do).
i don't think it's some kind of meta thing that the game is doing, it's just bugged.
Most likely the Xbox One UI popping up saying it's overheating. I think I remember that on my partners old fucked Xbox.
The text just says that it overheats in the middle of the mission where the Xbox simply shuts off and after reboot the usual overheating message appears.
Is this a joke that I don't get or the game really makes our consoles so hot to turn them off?! Or Xbox One X is a smart creature and when it hears the story of that mission, it gets it serious and becomes so hot?
Oh! Now I get it. :|
It doesn't even make the console hot or anything. I know the ins and outs with this error from a hand full of other games.
It's probably one specific effect, very close to your screen that stresses the CPU very hard for just a split second that the console shuts off.
Also know this from my old PC which did the same every time at the end of a Dota 2 game where the explosion happened. xD
Oh! What's in the OP reads like it's some kind of ingame mission that shuts down the console, Kojima style lol.
They better fix it fast.
I love it, its a shame a cool moment...like this gets spoiled because of a bug. I love stuff like this, like Arkham Asylum does to you too.
Just wait until they get to the "ransomware" mission.
Thanks.
I didn't know about this error and at the same time, the mission is called "404" and that was so strange for me! lol
