Sucker Punch's Playstation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima landed last July, and is already dominating sales charts in the UK and elsewhere. Players have started to take notice of items going missing from their inventories, and one player documented the glitch after yesterday's Update 1.06 patch.

Players on Twitter and Reddit describe a bug in Ghost of Tsushima which seems to be centered around players' items, particularly their ghost weapons and ammo, disappearing from their inventory when a player starts the game, resumes from a checkpoint, or uses a hot spring. This is not the first bug players have encountered. One player figured out how to make enemy arrows give them the ability to fly. The inventory glitch is not nearly as fun, and is easy to miss. Some players claim that the bug existed on launch day, but it was difficult to prove.

The effect would be understandable if it were restricted only to checkpoints, the player character is "reset" to base stats when starting from a checkpoint, meaning ammo which exceeds the default setting will disappear. The same thing seems to happen whenever a player uses one of the hot springs for rest and contemplation. This can pose a problem for players who unlock the Fundoshi armor and find their inventory is lighter than when they started.

Another hilarious bug, which may or may not still be in the game, occurs when Jin uses a hot spring when hostile forces are nearby. He will sit down, relax, and contemplate the moral dilemmas he must face while enemy arrows fly in. Damage, it appears, resets the dialogue, meaning Jin will acknowledge repeatedly his uncle is getting older or reflect on a childhood memory until he keels over. Fortunately, this bug could be easily fixed by programming Jin to get out of the hot spring if he takes damage, and the 1.06 patch may have already addressed it.

The more complicated a game gets, the more likely glitches will pop up from between the lines of code. Sucker Punch can be forgiven for not getting to this particular glitch yet, but there are some things it could be doing better to improve its bug-reporting process.

Unfortunately the process for reporting a bug in Ghost of Tsushima is not at all clear. Sucker Punch has no public forums, no contact us form, and no official place to alert the developer to game glitches. Players are encouraged to instead contact Sucker Punch via Twitter or Facebook, or to seek help from PlayStation Support.

Sucker Punch is clearly working hard to make its game both a fully functional and fun war game, but also an exquisitely beautiful story of a samurai in feudal Japan. The developers have a lot to be proud of. Even Yakuza director Toshihiro Nagoshi likes Ghost of Tsushima. The studio must still remain mindful if it wishes to stay on top of game glitches and keep its player base happy.

Ghost of Tsushima is available exclusively for PlayStation 4.
