Agreed. It's become unplayable.

Only just becoming unplayable? I haven't played since 1.16 dropped with all the issues it brought to the party. Have since been waiting on the fixes to come in 1.16 hotfix, then 1.17, then 1.17 hotfix, then 1.18 but all that BI seem to achieve is introducing new bugs on top of old with each update.

I dunno what's worse, the apparent lack of testing that goes into any update before release to experimental, or releasing the updates despite being told of all the issues from experimental with nothing more than a pinkie promise they'll sort them out in a future update?

seems to be fixed now
