Game gives me 2 BSODs in 5 minutes, forces restart windows twice in a row, im not killing my PC just to play some chinese game, thanks

They released this game early, the result? I encountered 3 game breaking bugs in less than 10 minutes of playtime.
I launch the game, i get stuck on confirming the difficulty, I confirm but nothing happens, need to go back and load game. Then on the first cutscene, im forced to skip it because the text no longer shows up. Then in the game, im talking to a character but after the conversation ends, i cant move and get stuck in place.

Very unfun and anti-competitive meta, devs havent got the first clue of how to balance a shooter. The game not only privileges casual players but puts skilled players at a disadvantage by making low skill weapons completely unbalanced while making weapons that require aim, positioning etc, do very little damage, which makes 1v1s almost impossible in the current heavy + healing beam meta. Its a good game to have fun and mess around with friends, but very unbalanced and unfun for anyone who wants a balanced a fair experience for all players, for a more competitive experience sadly you'll still have to look towards the bigger competition since despite the teams attempts at balancing things out, little has changed in the meta since launch and the gameplay loop becomes quickly boring by the lack of maps and the fact everyone is just using the same weapons and abilities anyway, not much of a learning curve aside from doing what everyone else is doing to have a fair chance.

Update: As of today I can no longer play the game due to an "Out of memory" error thats suddenly popped up and that wont go away despite having made no changes to my system.

Update: Now that the out of memory issue is resolved, i still cant play the game because of non stop stutters, mouse freezes and audio disconection, something in the game makes your usb port malfunction during gameplay, its time to just give up on this game, they cant seem to know what they're doing on a technical standpoint

The problem of this game is that nothing stops the ennemy team from just endlessly camping the extraction room, if you dont have a teammate, you've lost the game by default because someone found the exctration room first and is camping, the reason this isnt an issue in games like tarkov is because ttk is so small that even alone you have a chance if your aim is good, in a game like this where the ttk is sky high and you need almost an entire magazine to kill 1 player, you're always at a disadvantage against a team even if your aim is astronomically better than them, its a gameplay loop that promotes camping and cheap tactics over actual teamplay and gunfights, if your team finds the exctration first, youve won the game, unless theres another full team out there, such a weird oversight, making ennemies continously spawn inside of the exctration room would be a very simple way to counter this, either you move out of the room, or have to waste all of your ammo, until this is fixed i guess i am just doomed to have all my games finish with me trying to 1v3 in the exctration room

Game is still filled with technical issues, sound bugs, crashes, a real pain in the ass

I deleted my first review because I hadnt played in a while and figured the issue of the game breaking your headset had been fixed by now, it hasnt, the spaghetti code still messes with the display, showing the bottom of the display as washed out white, forcing you to restart your headset and pc, i cant believe these issues havent been fixed since my initial review in JANUARY, where one of the devs told me to just "wait for their updates"

Absolutely nailed the gameplay, a great mix of tactical and fast paced

Steam version has been abandoned, all the new content and updates are consoles only, way to treat the platform that made your game what it is, complete lack of respect

I LOVE IT
The gameplay in PVP is so fast and enjoyable, weapons feel great, movement is spectacular, im absolutely hooked

Forget every SCP game you've played so far, this one is by far the highest quality one ever made, so much care was put into the ambiance and effects, hope this game is the start of a long series of high fidelity SCP games, great job from the devs!

Editing this review after finishing the game, its a real masterpiece, the story writting is absolutely gorgeous, and the visual style in some of the scenes is to die for, they nailed it, this is the game SCP fans deserved for a long time!
