I've experienced a second or so of lag when construction carts of any kind arrive from the HC. Also the dropdown menu in the timeline section from postgame is buggy.

Mouse icon, frame rate being horrible and units stuttering, terrible new look (hp bars are massive, units look tiny)

The lag must be happening to only some
I have actually seen that bug, but I its been there before the patch and I only noticed it recently tbh.

I just thought its a random thing once in a while, probably should report

Loved the fake flare-outs as well to confuse opponent

For me this feels like the first patch that is game-breaking. Just played a game on about 3 FPS. No wood icon when hovering over wood crates. HP bar looks weird...

It’s because after you killed all the hunts you need to make 3 rax so it’s reminding you to chop wood

Its 25 degrees in my room, 5 more than normal so that could partially explain the difference. I believe heat diffusion is not a simple linear process.

And how is this good for the customer and the product itself?
Unfortunately game development is a lot more complex process than what it was back in 2000. Secondly being able to push patches via internet has given devs some flexibility as they don't need to push finished product or gold product as was the case with disks. Today's games have millions of lines of code and works differently on every pc. Its possible that game ran bug free on dev pcs. Instead of devoting a month worth of time on testing every line of code and every feature its easier to assume it works and if people face bug well then you know whats exactly broken and you fix it. Much easier and time saving.
what the heck is that attitude, I hope you are not a developer. Proper testing before releasing is number one priority if you want to have high customer satisfaction. And you don't have to test every line of code when releasing an update. To detect these kind of flaws it would be enough to just play the game for an hour.
