This game on PC is a broken mess right now.
- It is endorsed by Nvidia, but Nvidia's own overlay causes the game to lock up and not run ... I'm sure Nvidia won't be happy about that.
- If you try to add it into another program for shortcut means (such as Steam) to use their service (such as Steam Controller) the game gives you an error that implies the servers are under maintenance, but it's just cause you are running it outside of U-play directly. U-play is still running and active, but it just doesn't like that you clicked the EXE instead of the Uplay button.
- Lack of dedicated servers basically means the 4v4 game is impossible to play because at least one person will have a ****ty connection and the game will hang on "Starting soon" forever.
- After the most recent patch players are getting errors that the game "Cannot be activated right now" and won't start.
The game itself, when you can get it started, is fun and enjoyable ... maybe not full retail price enjoyable, but that's personal opinion others will feel differently. The real fear here is that, realistically, these major errors probably won't be fixed in the mere 18 days until release. So the game will release with one or more of these issues still affecting the game. That is the kind of thing that causes reviewers to nail it with a bad review ... and most reviewers don't revisit a game once the first review is published.
I understand this is Beta, and that is why I won't personally hold this against you Devs, but if the game is not fixed up by release date and these issues remain ... then I WILL hold it against you. So either get them fixed in 18 days, or more likely delay the release on PC until you can fix up the issues and release a working game.

Have to agree with you, lots of Things to fix left in too less time. I really want this game to be successfull and get a huge playerbase cause i absolutley love it. A delay might be the only solution though

Agree with all the issues.
Imo 60€ is worth it if everything works (dont forget there will be more multiplayer modes, maps aswell as campaign in the full game). The biggest issue rn (ingame at least) is the P2P server. 1v1 is playable pretty much everytime, 4v4 is super high risk though atm. You cant even play bot matches reliably. As soon as one person leaves or gets booted out (for whatever reason), the whole match starts to crumble. And since the majority of Game modes will be involving more than 2 or 4 players it will pretty much break a big part of multiplayer, making the game not worth full price AT ALL (and dlcs aswell as microtransactions will be added so that makes it even worse).
Also having microtransaction that enable you to actually be stronger ingame is a HUGE turnoff for a lot of players. If the devs dont have faith that their game will be good on it's own, why should anyone????

For real. If they want this game to have any success whatsoever on PC, they need to either delay the hell out of it and redo most of the internal systems or pray to Shrek that they're able to pull another Rainbow Six: Siege out of the bag.
On top of everything you guys have said, the game just plain plays like ***. Most AAA games are designed for consoles and thrown onto PC with basically no changes beyond a decent options menu (and that's only if you're lucky) but this is an especially egregious example. It was just not meant to be played on anything other than a controller. At all.
