BATTLETECH

Fun gameplay, bad game.

I've been enjoying the gameply a lot. It occupies a cool niche and it's a tonne of fun. I would be happy to waste a whole weekend on it if I could. The problem is that it runs like crap: The first mission I run when I start the game up has audio issues every time. Music and sound effect cut out when they overlap, and its fixed for the next mission. The loading times from a m.2 drive are way too long, like 10x longer than they have any right to be. I can boot up my laptop and start playing another game before the campagn loads on this. And the worst part is that the game softlocks a lot. Sometime when you order certain actions (attack, move, jump, sensor lock, any bloody action you can make,) the game will just go into the action cam and just stay there. I once left it alone for 40 mins and it hadn't got over the hurdle. Add that to the fact that reloading the save just repeats the problem and you suddently have to close the game, launch it again, suffer through that insane load time and have buggy audio on your mission. It's so frustrating that I just close the game and I leave it alone til the next day. This softlock has happened every goddam day since I purchase this. Every play session ends with my quitting because the game has locked up. I'd say buy it in a year's time, when it hits a 75% sale and a few patches have fixed it.
