List of issues I’ve experienced.

First and foremost, this game is fun… I’ve had a great time, logged a decent 50 hours (somehow) and surprisingly bought a $60 CAD item for a free game, which I do not do very often. But after purchasing the upgrade I realized that I can’t even play the game.. because of the absurd amount of bugs and poor polishing of this seasons release, this is extremely embarrassing for a dev team with the history of the franchise standing behind it - Now for the list of issues and bugs, some of which are stopping me from even being able to play the only game I want to play:

• Constant Crashing

Upon loading in, I can tell the game is struggling to keep up with the streamed textures, leading to a 5-10 second window of slight play-doh like graphics. This is happening between both of my systems (Both are Ryzen, 4050 and 2070 super). I can close the menu, skate around a small area (~50m) before my game decides to do some funky pop in and out moves and then crash. I have literally tried to play 10-15 times and this has happened, every time, without fail. This also happens when I join a party, teleport to players, fast travel, etc. This has also happened upon just opening the game multiple times.

• Repeated Ripscore Level Up Animations

When unlocking any item, whether it be Shred Pass or Boxes, the game will show the expected unlock/congratulations animation, once the Ripscore XP counter goes away, it will proceed to play the level up animation, show an incorrect Ripscore amount and display the already unlocked item. 

• Removed Fun

The launch glitch (hippie+manual) was an amazing “feature” which I can see that everyone loved. My buddies and I spent a great amount of time laughing insanely hard and how stupid the game could be, which was fantastic. Being able to fly around and have absolute freedom of launch a sack of virtual meat thousands of meters in the air was amazing. Being able to set markers mid air, and try to get some crazy lines with lots of speed was the best part of it all, obviously a bug, but to be patched and not mentioned in the patch notes because you guys knew you’d get backlash was pretty slimey. 

• Random Issues

• When rotating my character in the ShredPass menu, I hear constant click sounds as if I’m navigating the menu.
• When viewing the seasonal challenges, I am unable to scroll to see more challenges, requiring me to use my scroll wheel to navigate. 
• Clipping issues with clothing and hair. 
• The green beanie icon shows the head model with eyelashes. 
• Cant navigate the Shred Pass “main menu” with my D-pad. 
• Feels like Tix are a bit of a chore to earn, would like to see a slight boost in the amounts we get from challenges. 

Might some like Im the whining to whine and complain, but I’d like to play a game I’ve been waiting a VERY long time to play. Very big shame that everything is seeming to be rushed out and incomplete upon release, I say on behalf of myself and much of the community, we would be perfectly content to wait and see a flushed out product and/or update for the game. We’re just feeling like some guinea pigs. If anyone at EA/Full Circle sees this, you guys made it seem like you want to be the cool/hip dev team, so let us keep our fun bugs and goofy things we find (not progression exploits of course).
