Broken Patience, Broken Game
Pretty much as the title said. Fantastic gameplay, when it works. Otherwise, the playtest has been awful. I understand this is a playTEST, but the sheer level of bugs related to seemingly simple things is incredible.

I'll try to list everything I encountered within 2 hrs of play:

*Multiple crashes to desktop
*Constant visual bugs; Black screen when looking at certain parts of the map is common
*Randomly revealing every enemy on the map for a split second
*Disappearing/invisible units
*Camera gets locked into place, can't move it, can't click anything, had to alt f4
*Broken chat, doesn't seem to work at all and my messages would duplicate themselves
*Horrible performance despite i7 CPU and a GeForce 1080
*Finally the game managed to crash my GPU, steam, and my desktop all at once forcing me to restart my PC

TL:DR the game is raw as ♥♥♥♥. Seems even worse than last demo. My expectations are non-existent and I will probably wait a couple of months to buy. Very disappointing.

All Russian Units are heavily favored in most engagements. There's a few token units for NATO I.E. Abrams v3, mlsr, and mortars. Everything else is unbalanced goes in RU faction favor 90% of the time. So far its a propaganda piece. Devs can ignore and say what they want, make false claims of trolling, point farming, and completely ignore the issue at hand, but until they show the unit values on the backend and that is reflected in game. Then this is failure of a "Game". Like you stated, The optimization is terrible, the controls are utterly garbage, the chat doesn't even function properly, it really is a joke and most likely a money grab. The dev in the replies shows clear bias against western units, players, and the like, They have a few bots that like to go around each negative thread and bomb them. Claim they're from other countries, when they're in fact Russian citizens abroad pushing the party line.

You have too much "Russian" in your tirade to the point where it starts to sound unhealthy..

Getting really tired of your "Russian Bias" and flamebait posts.

Warned.


The idea that I have a "clear anti-western bias" when I'm from Jersey is comical.

You know, this is actually not just misinformation but is actively malicious so I'm going to make this very, very clear. Make stuff up like this again and you'll be banned from the forums and the beta.

The rules are exceptionally clear about this.

Edmon

This game needs about another year or more to iron out all the optimizations and fix the PAGES worth of bugs that I encounter on every single session I play. I get it's a playtest, but I hope that no one expects a relatively bug free experience within the next 9 months. Just simply won't happen. :bbtcat:

They clearly stated that the beta test was to specificaly test servers, connection and related stuff. Nothing else.
I understand that other bugs can severely undermine your will to play/test it though.

Waiting for a couple of months after release before buying a game is pretty much a must do unless game follows the Early Access release formula. You will get the game for cheaper and with several afterrelease bugfixes that way. I honestly don’t understand, why people still buy games at release.

The units popping up could be a visual bug due to jets or aviation if I had to guess / recon being weird. And that doesn’t work at all but nothing else so far
