Three issues: Intro movie and "press any button to advance" screens are unresponsive. Sometimes I have to press a button up to 30 times just to get past it all. Not exaggerating by any means. Selecting a route on the initial route selection screen will oftentimes take the player straight to an intro tutorial for the chosen route, even when the tutorial has already been cleared. It's a sporadic issue, but one that I get more often than not. It's also a rather time consuming problem, as it doubles the time spent waiting on loading screens. Country flags are missing on several routes on the route selection screen. Not game-breaking, but it gives an unfinished vibe that is off-putting. I hope these problems will be fixed soon, especially the first two.
Turn off auto-load journeys in the settings and then it should always take you to the route menu (except for the very first time).
I am also experiencing the same issue when trying to start the game. I have to press a button on ps4 continuously to get to the next screen then it happens again in the next screen before it gets to the actual game.
Same here, it's trial and error when trying to start the game. Works flawlessly when I plug in a keyboard though. Re the flags, they started adding them to preserved collection as well just recently (with the latest batch, despite initially stating they won't be doing that), so I guess patience is the way to deal with this detail.
