Well that's a truly horrible experience.... I think it warrants a refund

Normally, I'd fully recommend that but I still want to play the game. I was actually really enjoying myself. I'll just wait until they actually issue a patch. I'm a little shocked not even one hotfix has gone out.

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole team took a vacation right when the game went into early access. But yes, it is very odd that not one patch has come out yet. I'm sure if everyone did take a vacation, they are probably mostly back now and working on it.

Yeah I bet everyone needed a break after they finally launched. Hopefully the r&r helps them come back fresh to knock some of these issues out.

Why do you assume they're going to issue a patch?

They patched Skyrim, fallout 4 and 76. They are a big enough studio that I have no reason to believe they'd just release it and move on. I'm not talking about changing what the game is. I'm just talking about technical patches to do some bug fixing.
