After the latest patch was introduced I have been consistently experiencing a bug in Remote Play. I don't have physical access to my PS4 at the moment so I can't confirm whether it occurs locally although I'm inclined to say that it does not otherwise there'd be substantial uproar. Other users are also experiencing the bug as I've seen posts in other forums (i.e. on Gamefaqs - I'd post a link, but I don't have that capability yet, the most recent topic on this issue in that forum was called "Remote Play and X Button").

What's occurring is that after starting a Remote Play station from a PS Vita, neither the cross nor the square button work when interacting with objects (i.e. fallen enemies, workbenches, etc.) to transfer items into or out of inventory. The buttons themselves still partially work as I'm still to assign companions to pick up items by searching objects, and I can still hold cross to pick up and move the items however I can't bring the items into my inventory. Fast traveling to a different location does not fix the issue.

So far the only way to restore functionality is to exit out to the PS4 home screen, using the "start" button to "close the application" then starting it again. This occurs virtually every time I start a new session in Remote Play, and as I mentioned previously, it did not occur prior to the patch from roughly a week ago.

Apologies if this is a known issue; I'm new to this forum and didn't see a Search function.

Thanks,

Nick

Just here to say I am experiencing the same Remote Play problem since the patch. Basically can't interact with containers at all while using the Vita.

Thanks for explaining it so well that hopefully the developers can reproduce the problem themselves.
