YAAAAAAYYYYYY GIGANTIC I played that ages ago when it was on some other platform how's it holding up? Are you having fun? The steam reviews mention server and matchmaking issues which are the only things stopping me from getting it again

ive been having a lot of fun! and yes there are still issues but most of them are fixed and are still being fixed. i can only say the devs are doing a great job at fixing things tho i do wanna list the problems i bumped into:

at launch, i keep getting authentication errors for days. i only finally caved into doing a fix which was using a vpn. this only required using the vpn once and after that i was able to get in w/o it

during night (lunch time for me), when player counts going down, i couldnt get into matches bc of the infinite requeue bug. its fixed now and have no problem joining games any time of the day

if someone leaves mid game, a bot will replace them. theres a high chance this bot will have: no faction (will fight anyone), have infinite health. devs are looking into this. for now the best way to deal with them is either bait them into the enemy's side of the map or throw them off the map (easier with heaven's ward and picaro bay)

60 fps cap. i dont mind this as im used to lower frame rates. trying to uncap it will cause desyncing issues with other players. i heard if you go 300 fps itll just crash the match for everyone

theres a bunch of other bugs concerning badges, fortunes, titles, grading, etc but the priority rn is fixing gameplay/server issues

queue times for me go from 5 seconds to 4 mins but for some it goes above 10 mins. if it does go above 4 mins for me i either just restart the queue or the game and check if i have crossplay off (should be on)

when queueing with friends and yall finally get in a match, its best to hit accept at the same time. this will increase the chances of being able to get in the match, otherwise if everyone accepts at different times, theres a higher chance of not connecting

tbh ive been approaching the game on a more optimistic note bc i really want it thrive and i have been enjoying binging it. but if you head in pessimistically then you might not enjoy it. just general outlook on things really affect your experience you know. ive been through it for other games

overall the general consensus for a lot of peeps (that isnt steam reviews) is that its a really solid, fun game despite the issues. it seems theres a decent amount of people who's able to play w/ barely any issues. maybe you'll be lucky or maybe you'll just have to power through like i did. being in the gigantic discord server is p helpful too
