Users express significant frustration with the music aspect of the game, particularly regarding the loss of a vast number of custom-made files after a verification process. Many recommend avoiding reliance on the game's music system, especially for those with extensive personal collections, as it can lead to unintended data loss.
- “After exiting pd18, I did a verification of data, not knowing that it would remove all 136,709 custom made videos/music that I use for my videos (that I kept in the samples folder); as you can imagine, I'm really upset!”
- “I highly recommend ignoring it, especially if you have over 100,000 custom made files/videos and music in the sample clips folder (so that when pd18 starts, you have all your base clips handy).”

The graphics performance is described as powerful but inefficient, often leading to significant slowdowns and errors like "heap corruption" or "kernel core error" when effects are applied. Users recommend frequent saving due to the instability encountered during graphic-intensive tasks.
- “This game is visually disappointing; the graphics look outdated and lack detail, making the overall experience feel bland.”
- “The character models are poorly designed and lack the polish you'd expect from a modern game, which detracts from immersion.”
- “The environments are uninspired and repetitive, with textures that appear low-resolution and unappealing.”
