Just updated mine and im not liking it :/


Mine isnt buggy at all. No lag or anything. Might just be your computer bud.


That's most likely it, just certain computers.


Mine isn't buggy either, I don't know what the other users are complaining about.
I personally like what they've done to the game lately. I don't know why.


Just got back on and it is running great.


It might be your pc
