Played this game for the first time for Vendee 2012. Numerous issues. Twice woke up in the morning and my boat was going backwards, back to a waypoint that did not obviously register. Huge disappointment. In 2016 I refused to pay for any add-ons, encountered more bugs in the new web UI, finished 1d slower than my 2012 time.
2020 now and got confused by the purchasing options; spent 40 EUR on credits only to find out that I need to pay another 30 EUR for the "full pack"!!! (19.99 now on discount) Oh no, I don't think so. Started the race, doing pretty well, but the 24 auto-sail expiration rule came to bite me.
Was watching a movie, paused to check the "boat"... The auto-sail had expired; I was on HG which was OK at the time. Set the auto-sails back on, came back 2 hours later auto-sails were NOT ON! I was still on HG, while I should have had the LG. Lost 800 places in the meantime. How frustrating!
Here's the funny part: I add auto-sails back on, and I get 1d 22h left!!! Do the math please...
The heading indicator is all over the place. You try a new heading to check something, you cancel it gives you a random heading. I fail to even understand how it can be SO wrong!
I don't know what you people think, but personally I've been writing software for 30+ years and I would never charge money for something as buggy as this!
Next, I'm thinking, I have to pay for the Full pack now, I can't let this 24-hour limitation ruin my mood every so often. But my hand just simply can't click the PAY button, I can't get myself to justify it.
Is it just me who finds this so frustrating?. Do people have similar problems?
As I'm writing this, it just crossed my mind; I know a person who deserves my money more... Thank you zezo.org!
