I believe they said map, but not characters?

DE5381 crashing constantly today.

So I was travelling along the road to Tri Kresta an a brand new Gunter 2 when suddenly BOOM. Car spun to the left and I was almost knocked out. Got out of the car, it's stopped by a guardrail. Every single component is in pristine condition - except the motor, ruined. And then I was suddenly kicked from the Server (Xbox official). Logged straight back in. What the heck happened? A blown motor? Is that a thing, and why? Didn't hit anything, radiator and fuel all topped up. Only 2 other players online at the time so unlikely I was shot (and not shot at afterwards).

Same problem. Gardens are forever it seems...

Widespread. May be related to a denial of service attack on some major internet name servers?

I've been sick permanently for almost a week now, which is an awful lot of game time. I've tried tetracycline, codeine, morphine, charcoal, eaten like a king, spent hours in front of a fire doing nothing, it just won't go away. Only thing I haven't had is multivitamins but after ransacking entire cities and towns multiple times for days now and not being able to find any I've given up and am currently standing half naked in the rain waiting to die. 😥 Bug or is the game really this irritating?
