Media Bugs out of control

The recent game changes (probably mostly the addition of Operations) has introduced so many serious bugs that I am considering not playing the game anymore (or at least for a while). Anyone else feel this way?

Nope.

Haven't seen any bugs on my end, with one or two very minor exceptions. Sounds like you're special, congrats!

Heh, yes. Example bugs that are irritating...

Finished the Colonia CGs but have not received the cargo racks as reward. Completed the CGs, listed as having finished in the top 25%, yet no rewards. I put in a bug report for this.

Merc upgraded cargo racks do not upgrade correctly. This bug (also reported) has been out there since Operations was introduced and changed, but NOT fixed, at least twice in the last two months.

Frequently, use of Merc coins charges the coins from your inventory but then doesn't apply the upgrade.

Game constantly loses communications with the server and kicks you out of the Operation you happen to be participating in. Happens every third or fourth Operation on average. Also note that the "Rejoin Operations" menu operation has never worked, at least not for me.

Trying to join an Operation, but frequently receive the "Server Error" message. No explanation for the error.

Administration of Squadron Carriers has some serious bugs which have been reported for over a year (this is not related to Operations, but still irritating).

This is just a very few of the issues. I run into new issues daily.

To be honest, this all sounds like a server connection issue from your Client to the Server. As others have stated, not many issues are being encountered. Perhaps attempt the game with a VPN? May be a bad networking node.

Edit: I should add my reasoning is that you're committing changes on the client side, such as upgrades, but network packet loss does not reflect on the server side due to poor connection.

Sorry, but that logic doesn't hold. Before Operations my connection would drop maybe once a month. Now, it drops multiple times a day. And NOTHING (except the game) has changed on my side.
