I went ahead and purchased the $30 client.
Playing in Open, I've observed these things:
- Really laggy in Supercruise particularly when other players are present. By lag, I mean the framerate drops by at least half - becomes very choppy.
- Lag and general lack of responsiveness in the UI
- The opening screen takes a while to finish loading before you can even press A to continue, and when you press A there's no feedback except for the small Loading... message in the left corner. No icon animation or anything else to let you know that the input was accepted.
- The biggest problem for me is continual crashes, as far as I can tell it's happening in Supercruise. The sound will sort of freeze in whatever is being played at the time, and the game becomes non-responsive. I can back out to the dashboard, and then the game will crash and I can restart it.
It feels like all of these problems are connected and probably related somehow to network performance.
