  2. The performance is bad it crashes on all Xbox ones and series x suttering is bad the graphics or bad. But this is a game I lo e just please fix the crashes performace and stuttering I don’t know why it’s so hard to optimized this game I care less a out the graphics on this game. This game will be my favorite game if you just please the peformace stuttering and crashes and other problems people having .thanks

  3. hello ,
    bugs aside im enjoying the hell out of this game. althoughbi just came to a part in the game where i was goven a gun with a scope. this is not even playable. i read the above article and know its being worked on thank you.

  4. On Ps5 the options menu keeps freezing while navigating it and when you change options such as aim assist it doesn’t save your choice and reverts back to default.

    • I can’t even play I ride the elevator down after the character selection terminal and my 2 month old PS5 turns off happened 3 times in a row 4 th attempt said my system was to hot

  5. Ps4 aim assist is not working. It is not possible to turn it on no matter what. Also, the controller deadzone stops at 21% wich can be quite annoying when you try to make small movements.

  6. Ps4 aim assist is not working. It is not possible to turn it on no matter what I do. I’ve tried everything but nothing works, I have a disability which means i lots of issues hitting the enemy’s without aim assist

  7. I just got this game on ps5 and I can’t even play it because it’s causing the system to shut itself off it won’t even turn on until I unplug it and plug it back in this might not be entirely the games fault I could have a faulty system but I find it strange that the system plays call of duty just fine

  8. Paid 30 bucks for this game this morning. It’s crashed probably 10 separate times in 6 hours. I’m playing on my ps4 pro. There is no reason why you should have released a game with so much hype to have this many issues. The fact that there are practically no npcs. The fact that the story is horrifically bare. And then add the fact that I can’t get 2 missions in a row without the game lagging. I want my money back

  9. My partner was excited to play this first time, it was off putting when the game kept shutting down and freezing on his xbox, put the hole thing off putting to even play it. If we knew there was this much problems with it, he wouldn’t of gotten it

  10. Bought this game just before chistmas to my ps4 pro and it crasch very often. Aim assist is not working. Its clearly that the dev is not caring about the game.
