- The Spelunky Twitter account issued this when talking about the recent patch 1.03: “Unfortunately, Friday’s PSN update (1.03) introduces a crash bug when entering the Black Market. A new patch will go up ASAP to fix it. A clarification about the PSN 1.03 update crash: active (freed/bought) Hired Hands and coffin buddies appear to be the cause. Aggroing shopkeepers will free the Hired Hands immediately, which is why the crash is likely in the B. Market if shopkeepers are mad. In other words, buying Hired Hands and angering shopkeepers just got that much more deadly in the PSN version of the game.” [Twitter 1, 2, 3, 4]
