The game's stability has been heavily criticized, with users reporting significant bugs and a lack of content since its early access release. Many players feel misled by the developers' promises and warn potential buyers to wait until the game is more polished and playable before making a purchase. Overall, the consensus is that the game currently suffers from severe stability issues, making it unenjoyable.
“When the time comes that it is playable and not so buggy, then you can buy it and try it. If it still doesn't run well, then by all means refund it again.”
“Just a warning to you guys, especially those that are hyped. I bought the early access game DayZ last year, and as of now, DayZ is still buggy and has less content than what they promised in future developments. H1Z1 is a lot better and has more content than DayZ (but also some hackers), so I hope that you guys will heed my warning.”
“A lot of promises have been made in the past few days, and still, this game is not at the very least enjoyable. More and more excuses have been made while a lot of people that bought this game and recommended it, I suspect, are friends with the developer who just want to make this game attractive through positive reviews. Scam artists take full advantage of the fact that the Steam Greenlight cost can be easily covered up by a few purchases, especially with an incomplete, buggy game like this.”
