Just watched Drew's most recent video for season 15 and I applaud all the effort Rare is putting into SoT. I'm sure it's not easy between budgetary restraints and keeping players happy. Cheers for their effort! 🏴☠️
Rare deserves credit
All things considered, this has been a very smooth season launch. A few bugs and exploits but nothing as major as previous seasons. The work they're doing is starting to really become noticeable.
The client (Steam), while not entirely perfect, runs much better. It seems to recover better from hangs where my game would have certainly crashed previously. And, to be honest, any stutter might be related to shader compilation or traversal stutters, which are just typical of Unreal Engine 4 anyway.
Hopefully, they can continue this trend.
So do the players that take the time to fill out the reports update after update and season after season. The ones that are in it for the volunteer work and to help better the game without being a part of the drama/hyperbole cycle.
I don't send in any reports about bugs or exploits or this or that. I just play and give my opinion on stuff. Some people are taking a lot of time to do some pretty thankless volunteer work to try to help get the game fixed in a variety of ways. It can be a frustrating process for them, I've seen that, but they stick with it.
