Yes because they programmed the original game like crap, and didn’t expect it to be so popular.

I can’t even exit my ragnarok world without it crashing, I have to wait around 20 minutes every time I want to come off for it to auto save.

It’s the weekend and Microsoft probably don’t work weekends…My guess is that it won’t get certified until Monday morning..

It would be nice if they held the update on Xbox and PC (MS store/game pass) until they were both certified. I work with Microsoft frequently for my job and I can honestly say, “Don’t hold your breath on smart ideas.”

Even an ETA or a Twitter post would be very welcome, or a website we could visit to see what the current version live on PC (and actually available) so we don’t have to second guess our checking methods and jump through hoops like hanging out on a random comment thread for news. If anyone knows of a site like that, please let me know.
