    I tried to get in contact with the support, send screenshots, send saved files... When I asked for a solution they said "to check updates patch to see when the issue is solved".
    So, no ticket number, no nothing... Just a "keep checking for updates".
    That was 4 months ago... so, the game is unplayable. Have fun with that!    … Full Review »
