I am in the same boat. I played 19 hours and my singleplayer match is broken (endless pending bug at turn 121). 

I also started a multiplayer match which I have to expect will be broken too.

If this is not fixed in a couple of days I want my money back.

That "pending" bug is the worst bug I have seen since Fallout 2 (had a broken save near the very end), including a couple of Alphas, Betas and Early Access titles (that are still in EA).

Which doesn't substantiate anything. Game is still bugged as hell, also saying that it is a 'rare' 'unprecedented' case is a blatant lie.

I've tried these patches and they haven't worked. I want my money back, as I don't want to support games leaving early access when they're not ready.

Respect that some have issues but I have finished both my playthroughs in single player and 1.06 preview made MP stable and finished a game yesterday. I think Amplitude is working hard on the problems as well. This is not fanboy talk as fact is the forums would have been flooded if the 100k players all had major issues. I am sad for the ones with game breaking bugs and hope it will be fixed soon for them. 

They are flooded...

While I understand your problems I myself hadn't that many problems with the game...But I still think It could have stayed EA for at least another year.

I bought ES2 because it was advertised as being out of Early Access. Having now bought it and failed to play any game to completion, either as a result of corrupted save games or combat refusing to complete. I therefore want my money back - Amplitude have releases multiple patches since game release, all of which have somehow made it worse. I've played more than two hours so I can't use the standard refund mechanism. Amplitude, please tell Steam to unlock refunds for this game permanently.

Also dont get my last post wrong. It must be very frustrating if you get the freeze bug often. It looked like Amplitude squashed this during EA but I guess not after all. Hopefully soon this will be better for those affected. 

@Eysteinh The problem is these type of bugs aren't new to this game. They have been turn pending bugs since early access. Also look at bug report section. They're flooded.

And than what? Do you really think a game can be finished just like that? What we have at the moment is not a finished Product. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is a finished bugfree product. And it took years of development. You cannot create a good game in 2 years, roughly spoken.

The release was a mistake and anyways why are you guys complaining? We would be still able to play the EA as we do now. But the people who buy the game thinking they get a finished product have something else to say. That results in a negative review and other people may consider it again before they buy.

AFAIK "unplayable' means that you literally cannot play the game at all. Either because of an immediate crash on load or the game won't start. People just have a habit of using the incorrect definitions for things on the internet. Usually due to emotional overload.

What's happening now is usually referred to as a 'showstopper' bug(s) where game progress is completely halted.

If the showstopper bugs are resolved in less than a month, then a month was pretty much all they needed. What else is missing from the game? Races? Techs? Features?

The game is feature complete. No developer can indefinitely hold back the launch of a game. The game launched less than two weeks ago. How is giving them at least a few weeks to fix things ending the world for people?
