I had a few questions about this game before I buy.

[split light]

This is mainly toward the community and not just the mods. A variety of different people giving their experiences will help me make an informed decision

1: The game is in early access. Bugs are expected. How bad ARE they in a majority of cases? Any game breaking ones that happen frequently without actively trying to break said game?

2: According to the recommended specs, this game’s pretty budget hardware friendly. So, how does it run? Is it pretty well optimized for an early access title? How heavy is it on the CPU or GPU?

3: Any save data issues or anything so far? Persistent ones I mean? Another game I love was having cloud save issues so.

1. Not really, no. Not at all that I've seen or heard of, in fact. It's incredibly clean for an Early Access title!
2. Haven't paid much attention, but it runs great for me (3060 super & AMD 5800x, so I am no longer in the potato graphics crowd.) Some people complain of performance issues on Discord, here. Anecdotally, my 2 friends that had them solved it with turning off Lumen and setting some things to medium or low.
3. There's been some. I haven't encountered them nor have any of my friends, but the most recent hot fix was aimed purely at save corruption issues.

I assume Lumen is in game or is that a discord setting

[pliant cedar]

Sorry, it's the fancy in-game lighting setting

[split light]

Oh

[pliant cedar]

Still looks great without it

[split light]

So what I’m hearing is: Occasional bugs but not many game breaking ones that make the game unplayable, some discord and game issues and the save data corruption is there but not common

Sound about right?

[pliant cedar]

No game-breaking bugs I'm aware of, other than the rare save corruptions. No Discord issues.

As others have stated there arent many bugs in the game, I myself havent come across anything bar a small UI issue with attempting to spam escape quickly to back out of a lobby I made to join a friend ending up with my escape menu just being the background.

The game runs clean on more limited hardware from what I know. Nothing from what I have seen is too demanding, as for CPU and GPU usage, I'd probably say more GPU since it runs on Unreal Engine.

All the save data corruption issues I know about have been patched with hotfix 2 or 3 and I havent experienced or seen further complaints about data corruption or cloud save problems
