Despite developer claims of addressing the problem, community reports and video evidence show the bug remains unresolved, with some players noting that bug trackers are closed without fixes. This ongoing disruption affects core gameplay and risks player dissatisfaction and retention if not promptly fixed. The issue remains active as of late August 2026.
