Patch 1.0.5 Breaks Marathon - Widespread Crashes Kill Launch Momentum

Marathon's latest patch has triggered a massive wave of crashes across all platforms, with Reddit flooded by posts like 'Constant Crashing After Today's Patch 1.0.5' and 'Crashing like clockwork on PS5 since launch.' Players report infinite loading screens with Rook and crashes that literally 'cut the power' on PS5 consoles. Meanwhile Steam reviews remain surprisingly positive with players praising the 'smooth as butter' gunplay and Bungie's signature feel, creating a stark divide between the vocal Reddit community dealing with technical disasters and paying customers who can actually play the game.
