The game exhibits occasional stability issues, such as minor bugs like crates spawning inappropriately due to map generation glitches. While these issues are noticeable, they are generally not considered significant detractors from the overall experience.
- “Secondly, it is a tad buggy from time to time. Occasionally, you might notice a crate spawning inside of a cloud due to the way the map generates, which isn't a big deal but is certainly notable.”
