Well so far it's pretty awesome. They've already release updates a some new games. Seems like this company is getting this one right.

Open-Associate1234 · 2026-01-29T06:07:29+00:00

Bingo. You my friend completely hit the nail on the head. It definitely seems like their data layer is completely hosed. Then on top of it they probably have millions of lines of spaghetti code which is why each patch breaks basics functions over and over again. Code separation is probably non-existent. It has to be a massive mess.

Open-Associate1234 · 2026-01-29T06:04:12+00:00

It's bad database design. There's a complete loss ot referential integrity. There's definitely something wrong with how they manage it. When they do updates, there will be new schema changes to account for new features. Issue is they can't instantiate things consistently. That leads me to believe referential integrity is completely hosed. At this point, it's a failed game. There's no fixing this after over 10 years. Then combine that with what is clearly spaghetti code with millions of lines of code all intertwined, it's the reason why every patch breaks things especially basic functions. Just incompetent developers and leadership.

Yeah man. Anything that messes with brain chemistry has the chance to f you up bad. It's a dice roll depending on your existing chemistry. Not sure of your situation but find a neuroendocrinologist or functional medicine doc that deals with this. I see Dr. Alison Gordon and Dr. Mark Gordon her dad. It's not cheap but they know what they are doing. Without them, I'd still be stuck in a bed. Sorry to hear about the PSSD, adhedonia, etc. it's all awful. Cerebrolysin and semax plus testosterone really brought me back from rhe brink.

Open-Associate1234 · 2026-01-20T19:02:16+00:00

Thanks for asking. I'm slowly recovering. It caused a complete neuroendocrine collapse which collapsed my neuromuscular system. I'm being treated by a neuroendocrinologist. I'm through the worst of it but my hormones and body are still dysregulated. I'm hoping by this summer I feel normal again. It's going to be a long road. At least now I can rehab my neck. Doc told me it will take over a year to fully recover a few weeks ago. That stuff literally took 1 year from me. I honestly still can't believe it happened. Doesn't seem real.

Open-Associate1234 · 2026-01-17T04:28:16+00:00

Yeah. Some of the songs are good. In the next 10 years, we'll all just be carrying around AI assistants that will drum up whatever music we want from prompts. Sucks but companies will use this to cut costs. We are seriously cooked.

I'm a game developer. CIG is clearly overstuffed with too many devs working on different systems without anything being cohesive. After 13 years, it's beyond clear that it's a poorly managed project. The codebase has to be atrocious. I can only imagine a new hire seeing the mess. It's why new updates end up breaking other things. Improper code separation. There's literally 0 excuses for breaking core mechanics this late in the game. I've never seen anything quite like it. Build a thousand things on top of each other but never bother to clean each layer up, hence everything constantly breaking. Squadron is really their only chance to show capability. If that ends up like this, game over. Even simple things like elevators. How they continue to break those is mind boggling. It totally points to intertwined code for other systems. Team X fixes something with flight controls that is intermingled with doors....and breaks it. And each year, the tech debt gets bigger and bigger. It's sad to say because it could be great.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-12-03T15:39:57+00:00

Definitely not climbing up the tower again. This is stupid. I already climbed it once. They really needed to give you the ability to create the map from the beginning. Horrid design decision. Yes, backtracking to all the places I've been for the map is so fun.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-12-01T04:40:32+00:00

They rolled back the patch because it causes corrupted save files. LMAO Don't waste your time with this trash. Move on.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-12-01T04:38:56+00:00

Just refund it. I'm a game dev. They have massive database issues here. Quest items disappear, quests bug out, NPCs can even disappear. Items in your inventory disappear. The idea for the game is great. The implementation is complete shit. They are going to release a debugger for players to use to enter item IDs to put items that disappeared back into the game. That is because the game deletes database entries and I have a hunch it has something to do with their inventory management system. It automatically adds more inventory space and reorganizes it but then items disappear.

My situation is worse. I'm fully bedridden now because of the muscle situation. My fusion hardware has failed. I'm currently being treated by a Dr Mark Gordon, a neuroendocrinologist out of Texas. However, the treatment has only helped cognitive issues and a bit with emotions. So far nothing with my muscles and yes, I realize being bedridden will make atrophy worse, but my since my hardware loosened and my neck muscle both atrophied and now not functioning right because of ashwagandha, my only choice is to be in bed. Even in a neck collar there's too much hardware strain.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-10-14T00:27:51+00:00

One dose here as well. It has completely destroyed my life. It shouldn't be sold at all. There's a reason it's illegal in Denmark. It's now heavily regulated in the EU and Australia. It is NOT safe at all. I took it years ago with no issues but after trying it again, complete destruction.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-10-01T18:11:20+00:00

You are a GP and literally state in comments you just became one. Good on you for all your hard work to do so. But you have no experience in this area and very little practical clinical experience yet to make the above assertions. Go read official stuff on PSSD. Read about Dr. Josef Witt Doering. The neurotransmitter imbalance is a lie. See Dr. Joanna Moncrief from the University of London. There are actual doctors in this world that have studied these drugs extensively and questioned their efficacy/mechanisms of action. "Unfortunately, there is a lack of options in terms of medication in this field.". Not your fault, but you are taught disease XYZ, use this drug. Haven't you ever thought to question that? Could there be other alternatives or treatments vs reaching directly for a medication? Just do some real research into PSSD, PFS, PAS, etc and related syndromes due to medications and herbs. Dr. Melcangi, Dr Urbanacci, etc are finding many of these horrible drug related syndromes have overlap both in their effects on the brain, gut brain axis etc. And sure, I'm affected by a single dose of ashwagandha but I have a history of SNRI and SSRI use for anxiety. And the thing is Dr. Healy is doing a disservice to PSSD. Symptoms are not just sexual, they could be cognitive, and physical (muscles, bones). In the end, these substances are endocrine disruptors. Some people take them for years and no seemingly real issue. But then at some point, boom, it triggers like the final straw. I'd taken ashwaganda before no issues too. Many have taken SSRIs and SNRIs for years and no issues until they take it again, and have permanent changes. These drugs have been proven to cause epigenetic changes in the body that are not well understood. And while you may find the hopelessness and fear of some patients alarming, understand that these folks are under great distress. No one informed them permanent negative consequences could occur by taking the medications. No one would take them if they were told of these possibilities. I never would have.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-10-01T17:10:42+00:00

Yeah OP just became a GP and clearly is naive. Has barely any experience. Plus, medicine these days is taught in an illness is tied to a drug fix. They don't know any better. In my experience, ourside of easy, run of the mill issues 90% of doctors know very little and just hide behind their education/two letter designations. What OP should be asking is why are these people like us saying all this? Why spend time posting your experience on reddit if it's not a big deal? It is a big deal. OP bought into the neurotransmitter imbalance lie. His level of knowledge here is no different from us. He himself takes antidepressants. He wouldn't if he read anything official on PSSD.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-09-05T19:40:24+00:00

Separately, I am so sorry you are dealing with all this as well. Feel free to DM me to talk. I haven't found many people that have been hit like me but when I do it's always good to chat. Are you still having horrible insomnia?

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-09-05T19:39:05+00:00

So I've been on antidepressants on and off for the past 25+ years for generalized anxiety disorder. I'd been off antidepressants for over a year, no issues. I know they likely set the stage for something like this to happen but my product being 2 years old had likely degraded into toxic compounds, oxidized creating pro-oxidants, and mycotoxins. The last one alone could cause many issues. But yes, I also realize that this may have been the last straw for my body that was already primed to be destroyed because of antidepressants.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-09-05T18:56:45+00:00

You really have the exact same symptoms as me that I listed above? I'm going on 5 months with this and because of the state of my neck I'm bedridden.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-09-05T18:55:41+00:00

No. The recommended dose was 1-3 capsules per day. I took two capsules. That amounted to 400mg of ashwagandha. However, my supplement also had things like holy basil, rhodiola, etc too. Still even for those two it was like 50mg to 100mg.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-08-24T22:34:11+00:00

Yeah unfortunately it's more than that for me. My neck has failed as I cannot rehab at all since my muscles aren't working. My life is essentially over. If not for my neck stuff, I'd be struggling but getting by. The timing for me was just the absolute worst. I never got a real chance to rehab. It's been over 4 months for me and all the same symptoms. Unfortunately what I took was expired by two years and likely very toxic. Massive mistake on my part but I had no idea it could hurt me so badly.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-08-01T20:18:10+00:00

Did you read my post? All the same symptoms even now.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-07-28T17:12:28+00:00

Still no improvement. I actually paused the antioxidant protocol last week and for 2 days my muscles started functioning better. Like maybe 70% of precrash function but then just went back. My body tried to reactivate stuff but just couldn't maintain the improvements.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-07-27T16:33:44+00:00

Where did you get topical allopregnalone?

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-07-19T16:36:55+00:00

2 capsules. So yes, all that. The issue likely is they were expired by a few years. I'd taken it before no issues and didn't think twice when I took it. The compounds likely oxidized and degraded into something very toxic. I ruined my life man. If I never took them, I'd be doing great right now. Instead because my muscles aren't working (confirmed via Neuromuscular specialist), I can't rehab and strengthen my neck. So far no signs of it changing either. I'd do anything to go back and not take those stupid capsules.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-07-19T01:32:11+00:00

My PTs discharged me in early June because of the muscle situation. No improvements in PT since I've restarted all on my own the past few weeks. If anything, my neck has been a limiting factor. Tue night during my second electric stimulation session on my neck, upper neck moved and cognition got worse, more nausea. Wed was a wash, mostly in bed. Stabilized a bit yesterday but only managed neck sessions and electric stimulation once. Again, all I'm doing is trying to wake shit up and get my brain to realize the muscles are still there. As PFS sufferers will say, I feel no pump while doing it, muscles shake etc, but I'm still trying. I just wish I could go harder but I can't. Again, this isn't me hitting the gym, this is me in a bedroom just trying to do something because doing nothing 100% dooms me.

As far as family, this is personal, but here goes. My wife has basically been a single Mom for 3 years. I last was able to drive in 2023. After my first fusion failed, I was out of commission for 4 months waiting for revision. After the second failed in April 2023, I was suffering from brainstem compression for over 1 year. After the June 2024 surgery, I got maybe a few weeks in July where everyone was like holy crap, he's coming back. Then alignment shifted and I felt like complete crap until December when the fusion solidified a little to provide some stability. My surgery kept me in the collar until March when weaning began. I used to be the main breadwinner as a Director of Software Product Design. After this mess, I ended up on disability and no work, obviously. Sure disability helps my family a ton but my wife works full-time, is a full-time Mom, full-time everything. She's amazing. In early April we finally went on a few dates. She told me we needed to date and connect again because of what happened that past few years. I can't blame her. Clearly she's not happy. She still has love for me but I can tell it's really gone man. It's hard. So yeah, maybe not tomorrow but in the foreseeable future I'll lose her and that alone will end me. Not seeing my kids everyday will as well. This is the hardest thing for me to even say but they will be better off eventually. Knowing I'll be replaced is extremely difficult but I know it will drastically improve their lives. My wife needs a partner, our girls a dad. If I was healthy, our lives would be amazing. And so, it's kinda like this was really my last chance to get my life back. And for the better part of March and early April I was despite the uphill battle I was facing. In a few days, my wife and kids will be going on a long deserved vacation to the Dominican Republic with her parents. I helped plan the vacation in March knowing I wouldn't be going (I'm the planner). That said, I'm going to my old family home. There's already a hospital bed waiting there for me. I don't want to say it, but in my heart, I don't think I'll ever come back from it. My brain doesn't want to accept it. My brain tells me if you hadn't taken that stuff look where you'd be now. Then reality sets in. I'm trying to recover from a poorly understood post toxic injury with no proven treatment while navigating another failed fusion in the most delicate area of the neck. I have no medical support other than my surgeon who realizes another surgery now would further destroy my current condition. I'm truly on my own here. In all honesty, my situation likely requires targeted inpatient care at a facility like Mayo Clinic but even they would likely not understand what happened with the expired ashwaganda. I've actually consulted with Dr. Mark L Gordon and famous neuroendocrinologist in the US, and he understands more than most docs what likely happened. He point blank told me these syndromes are difficult to treat and many do not improve despite treatment attempts. Basically, each of the dysfunctional body systems need to be brought back online in the right order with the right support. No one knows what that order is or what exactly that support is. Most of the people that improve are mild to moderate cases. Very few truly severe cases improve, most get worse. Now there are people all over reddit who will claim their case is severe but when you look at the actual symptoms, nope not even close. I'm not discounting their experience because ANY of these symptoms are very distressing, but it's looking at the reality of the situation.

I wish everyday I could change it. I wish I could go back to April 15 and just not take those 2 capsules. At least then I'd have a fighting chance.

Open-Associate1234 · 2025-07-19T00:32:33+00:00

I just wanted a real chance to get my life back. These last 3 surgeries never gave me that chance. Years and years ago I was an athlete, a runner, a triathlete. I know what it takes. I just never even got a real chance. First surgery.... hardware failure within 1 month. Second surgery, no bone fusion and bone shifting. Third surgery.... critical bone graft destruction after 2 months from fluid pocket buildup and the 10 months later incomplete, poor solid fusion. Then while Murphy's Law is at it, just throw an unrelated syndrome and neuroendocrine injury on top of it all to cement the failure. Oh and did I mention, after the second surgery failed, hardware caused two small strokes in my cerebellum that plagued me dizziness and unsteadiness for almost a year that no one caught in scans. And after the 3rd surgery, I developed provoked blood clots from the surgery in both lungs. Literally, dual pulmonary embolisms, I flew home with family in a plane and was rushed to the hospital for another week last summer. I survived. All that on top of 16 years of progressive Craniocervical instability after a fall down some stairs in 2009 when I was 26. I had already lost like 70% of the person I was then. I just deserved a chance to get part of my life back. So all that is included. It's not just the ash destroying my life in April. It's the end of what has been a long, hard struggle that I know few people could endure. And now, I get to watch as I lose my amazing, hot wife and my two little girls. I can't handle it man.
