Why would you preorder while you don't know whether it even runs on day 1? Especially with From, where the main game had serious technical flaws initially, too?
Honestly? I just let the hype train roll me into the steam store. Not gonna pretend it was a smart decision, certainly not gonna advise anyone else do it.
What were the serious technical flaws at launch? I remember some performance issues but nothing super serious.
There were no issues at launch.
Several side quests were unfinished or broken at launch, weren't they?
Not for me or anyone I know. Could have been, but I’d never seen anything not working.
I think I'm remembering this early patch that finished several questlines that seemed to just end:

But it was fixed how quickly? This doesn’t stand as a reason to not preorder if someone wants to.
