Initially, the game experienced some bugs at launch, but these issues were manageable with a simple return to the main menu. Currently, stability has improved significantly, allowing players to take screenshots without affecting the inventory system.
“It was a bit buggy on release; nothing that going back to the main menu couldn't fix, but now you can take screenshots without it messing up the inventory.”
