    From what I've found online, ever since Windows 11 came out, the game has been plagued by constant Desync issues.

  2. Crashes and freezes14 of 299 (5%)

    I jump into this thing which is over a 100 GB in size by the way, launch up some tutorials, trying to get some achievments, BAM it crashes out of nowhere.

  3. Performance and stutter10 of 299 (3%)

    Runs decently but optimization could be better.

    Steam review, 5 October 2025 · 7 hours played · 7 readers marked it helpful

    Everyone on forums are complaining about terrible optimization and nothing has been addressed.

A further 10 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
