The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting severe performance issues, including low frame rates, stuttering, and numerous bugs, even on high-end systems. Many users express disappointment, stating that the game feels poorly constructed and lacks the necessary updates to improve its functionality. Overall, the consensus is that significant optimization work is needed to make the game enjoyable.
- “You won't need to worry about running it on an outdated system, as the game runs smoothly on most modern machines.”
- “The game’s performance is inconsistent, and while it’s not game-breaking, it can sometimes interfere with your experience.”
- “I hope they come through with some major stability and performance updates quickly.”
- “The game is so poorly optimized that even if it had the tag of 'early access', you'd still be disappointed.”
- “This game is not optimized in the slightest: a RTX 4070 / Intel Arc A770 will get you around 25-35 fps with occasional stuttering on medium graphics at 1440p (this is the second lowest setting in the game).”
- “Well, I'm really tolerating, but this is just a big no. The idea is good and all seems nice, but the physics are absolutely terrible. The performance is just gross; I think an RTX 2060 isn't that bad of a card to not be able to handle this game. I run other games on max settings that look better than this. It needs a lot of work.”

- “The graphics I found to be fantastic; the level of detail on vehicles, characters, and even the uniforms is pretty good.”

- “The graphics aren't bad at all; honestly, that's the best part.”
- “Game needs a lot of work; the graphics are so bad it hurts my head and my eyes.”
- “I played the game for 12 minutes and I've seen enough. It's buggy, the FPS is horrific. I can play Hogwarts Legacy, Red Dead, and other games on high settings with 60 FPS or more, but here, even on medium graphics, I'm struggling to get 30 FPS.”
- “This game is not optimized in the slightest: a RTX 4070 / Intel Arc A770 will get you around 25-35 FPS with occasional stuttering on medium graphics at 1440p (this is the second lowest setting in the game).”
