The game's stability is a mixed bag; while players appreciate the content, many report significant bugs and glitches that can disrupt gameplay, such as issues with account management and quest progression. Some users find that these problems do not severely hinder their enjoyment, but the game is still in early development, with ongoing work needed to address stability issues, particularly in late-game content.
- “Very buggy and glitchy, and the game doesn't remember anything. As soon as you log out of a user and back into the user, you have to redo everything. I can't even get past the account confirmation so I can access the network on my own account.”
- “It can have its moments when you hit a wall and can't figure out how to get through some quests, or how to properly use some programs/exploits. The early stages are just stumbling through running dictionary attacks on the nodes, figuring out what does what. The game is still in its early stages, and some of the late game content, by its own admission, is still being worked on and is slightly buggy.”
- “It has a good amount of content from what I've played and heard from others, but it is still kind of buggy. The bugs have not impeded my progress/enjoyment of the game.”
