Even in the pre-release review period for Armored Core 6 (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-armored-core-6-fires-of-rubicon/), I didn't encounter any major bugs. That's kind of rare in this current AAA landscape, but that doesn't mean they don't exist! Thankfully, From Software is planning on swiftly addressing some snafus with a variety of patches, and we're already three updates in at this point.
Patch 1.03 has been applied to all versions of the game, and is aimed at "improving gameplay stability and applying bug fixes." One big quality-of-life upgrade is the ability to directly quit online matches while spectating, which was a bit of a pain to finesse before 1.03. A few visual bugs were also addressed, as well as more annoying issues like enemies getting stuck in terrain under specific circumstances, or boost problems with Tetrapod legs (my frame of choice).
All of these patches are going to heavily benefit folks who haven't jumped into the game yet but are planning on it, going into the holiday season and beyond. And I really mean "beyond," as this game is fairly evergreen for both action and mech enthusiasts alike. Make sure you give it a look at some point!
