Wow this update is a mess, all the bugs and issues and then The Twins are so busted…

Was looking foward to comeback after a few months break, but things just seem to get worse

    Yeah I'm honestly afraid to even log in right now. Seeing way too many bug reports. It's an interesting development strategy. Normally a place will go test/QA>dev/QA>prod. We seem to be going dev>test>prod>back to dev>prod. Pretty ascended.

    I haven't had rubberbanding, but have been getting booted from servers just about every match. Usually right at the end of the game when I've already invested a bunch of time playing , only to get booted and have no BP or XP in return for my time invested. I don't know how Steam has so many players in-game now - maybe there are issues only on specific servers? I'm in US eastern time zone.

    This update seems to be a hot mess, which really isn't much of a surprise given the long history of hot mess updates. It's really frustrating, but it looks like this isn't affecting the player count so there's no urgency on the devs to fix it. The player counts stay pretty stable regardless of the bugs because there's no competition for this game in the asymmetrical horror game genre.

    The game must be working OK for some people out there, but I'm not lucky enough to be one of them.

    I guess there's no way to know just how buggy a new patch is going to be when it goes live, but this is the most broken I've ever seen the game (granted, I've only been playing for just over a year, so maybe there have been worse updates).

    Looking on the bright side, I think the new engine will perform a little bit more efficiently on the older platforms once they iron out all the bugs. And the new shop interface is pretty snappy.

    Yeah i'm really disappointed in BHVR this update. They should have been testing the transition to UE5 a lot more internally before putting it live but as usual it seems they'd rather stick to their schedule than put the player experience first. It's unfortunate, i would like to play this game a lot more as a main game but for many reasons the experience is so unreliable that i can't.
