World of Warcraft's 12.0.5 patch for the Midnight expansion launched amid a string of issues: lag and server disconnects, housing disabled due to a critical bug, a flawed Decor Duels mode, and a Voidforge system that duplicated items.

Square Enix’s Steam release of the original Final Fantasy VII has drawn mostly negative reviews from veterans, who point to speed-related desync between actions and audio after a patch, poor background upscaling, crashes on launch, and the removal of the 2013 version.
