Overall, the game's optimization has received significant criticism, with players reporting poor vehicle control and performance issues, such as low frame rates and unresponsive menus.

“This game isn't really optimized, but that's okay because it's in beta.”
“Tl;dr: good game, poor optimization.”
“The optimization is laughable... the game defaults to 'epic' settings when opened, requiring me to change the settings while the menu runs at 2 frames per second.”
“I give it a 9/10, the only problem that really affected my experience is the optimization.”
“9 GB for this piece of crap, and it is not optimized at all; if you're going for achievements, great, but if you're expecting anything else, please avoid.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including lag and frequent bugs that can cause freezing and frame jumping, particularly during driving sequences. Players have reported being unable to continue gameplay without resorting to closing the game through the task manager.
“Laggy and very buggy.”
“There is a bug on the flat map where driving between trees (by the mountains or hills) causes the game to jump ahead several frames. When reversing, it freezes and locks the game, leaving me only able to use the Windows key to close it and return to the desktop.”
“The buggy model looks decent, but the driving experience is what you would expect from just about any game.”
