Hello Guys,
Here are my thoughts and questions as a SnowRunner customer.
At some point between post-launch and at the begging of season 1, updates for SnowRunner were coming as a "new build of the game" therefore, along with this "new build" and contents, bug fixes were also addressed, and they actually were. However, how come a bug that got fixed in the past, shows up in the game again? Since It worked in the past, why it isn't again?
I also would like to understand how a build which worked "ok" in the release can in a couple of hours or a day after starting to lose performance. Is it the servers? Moreover, how come the most recent build with all the improvements and tweaks from the past can get worse and make the game crash often when we are just changing trucks? Do you guys have a quality team as "play testers" to make a walkthrough and identify bugs that affect the experience for contracts and missions such as we are having now with the Canadian maps? If yes, why didn't get caught before the release, since the PTS doesn't provide us with the full build on it?
Does Focus provide enough people and resources for Saber to work on this game as deserve it? Is the new engine, being a challenge for Saber and Focus?
Since we are in the Season 2 of 4, promised after launch, I truly believe there is still time to address these core issues with the game. In my opinion, it is quite known at this point that SnowRunner wasn't ready when released and the amount of hotfix and patches dropped after launch it is real prove of that.
That being said, is it possible for Focus to review the project plan for SnowRunner and concentrate the work to get these bugs sorted out, making sure that they won't come back and the game will sustain the performance? For instance, is the Trials worth the money and time on it? Are there enough players playing it to keep resources in? I believe you guys have tons on top of your shoulders now due to Mods on Console, but this won't fix the bugs it can even trigger more bugs.
A solid game which can keep up with the performance along sustainable build which doesn't get worse and shows new and old bugs with the time, worth way more than mods, in my opinion, for consoles. I hope you guys are reviewing how SnowRunning is getting driven so far.
Take care and be safe.
Happy holidays to the team!
