Have you guys considered recoding the game from the ground up?
With how slow things seem to get done, I was wondering if it ever came up in conversation about recoding the whole game over again to make more neat and clean so that we don't have bugs popping out of unexpected places nearly as often.
I'm sure this would be a monstrous effort to undergo and would require a large amount of funding, but I'm thinking a form of fundraiser (perhaps a certain cosmetic only obtainable with shards, different pieces for different amounts, ect) would help supplement that.
Just an idea.

Tbh I would donate because yeah they got a lot of spaghetti code going on and the only way to fix it would be from the ground up.

That would be too much effort for them at this time... at least that's what the devs would say.

I don't think you have any idea how much effort/manpower/time that would take. Un-spaghettifying part by part is, while more annoying for us, the only real solution.

They are doing good. What is the current bug that annoys you? Ever since i play i never had issues with any for long.. Right now i may find it annoying to search for mute survivors laying on a ground but thats about it.

People getting stuck in crouch mode after getting hit. This bug is years old now. It happens to me one game in 50.
People not being able to heal due to missing heal prompts. This is over a year old now as well.
People stuck on killers shoulder. This might not be new as i have only seen it twice in my games.
EGC triggered but does not go any further and game stalls. New bug.
Getting stuck in objects is unfortunate but will happen in a game with a lot of assets. It happens. I dont get upset at this.
Silent slugs. This has to get fixed soon. This cant go on.
Sound issues. Lots of them. I saw a clip on YT of a surv being able to hear everything the killer was doing even thought not in TR. This has happened tome as well. I have played this game a lot. 1700 hours. You see all sorts of crazy #########.
At least they fixed the shack pallet not dropping. This was trouble, mainly for survs so of course this got fixed quick.
Also glad to see that windows that were not abused by one person are available to them.
Fat shaming pockets still happen and are still found but due to the nature of RNG produced maps there is not much that can be done other than writing more conditionals.

This wouldn't take as long as people think, all the models and maps are designed and music. Every asset is done and idea for characters, redoing the code would be a great idea

with all things considered, recoding the game from the ground up would take years, even with a full team of programmers.
there's a lot of assets that have to be managed and scripted. the only thing they can do is fix things in parts at a time, hence why patches are a thing!

Ah yes. Sound issue. As a killer i often hear survivors breath sometimes even though its impossible to hear one. That can be confusing. Other than that i have never experienced one you mentioned and i have more hours than you.

Sadly, they obviously do not care about bugs or other issues. Look how fast these DLCs are coming out. Look all-in-all how much the total of this game costs with DLCs. All they care about now is money and to shoot out those DLCs. Good discussion, but not one they will ever get into or fix lol
