Frozen menus are the main reason that lobbies that get stuck, and long search times occur while trying to fill their spot. On an average session, my group and I have to do multiple full program resets each just to hope to play together, and usually the person who freezes still misses out and has to wait. The amount of times the game itself (not connection issues) force this game to fail seem to be more frequent and they were already ridiculous by AAA game standards. The majority of BTB matches take 5 minutes or cancel AFTER successfully matching because one person doesn’t load after they tried to view last game’s stats.
Are there any updates on this? I know this is a known issue, but it’s been known for a long time and it’s a giant obstacle for getting a group together and matching. It’s going on 3 years and has only become more frequent. Getting basic things like the game not failing should really be the top priority.
On a side note, It’s been years since it was pointed out that the capture zones on Risen can be manipulated from outside the marked area through the wall.
