thanks that worked as a fix.
although once i got on the island i noticed that none of the traps or chests could be opened properly with the x button. my character wont even approach the locations of either one and wont even attempt to open then normally. i get them option to break chests but no attempt texts for either one. especially the traps. theres no success or failed text on the log.
i know you're not a dev so telling u is kind of pointless but aye, might as well document it here lol.
