glitchfest
Cascade of malfunctions
A glitchfest is an event, product, or experience plagued by technical problems—especially a video game, software launch, or live broadcast riddled with bugs and malfunctions: The new release was a total glitchfest.
The term combines glitch with the suffix -fest, implying an abundance of failures rather than a single hiccup.
