Issues fixed

Game only shows a portion of the screen and/or doesn't internally render higher than 720p

The game's window may be larger than the resolution set in Windows' Display Settings or in the game's display options, causing the game to only show a portion of the screen.
The game only renders at 720p, regardless of the resolution chosen in the game's settings, causing the game to look low-res and blurry.

    Tested on a multi-monitor setup.
  3. Verified by User:MasterBlaster on 2023-06-24
    Tested by playing the game with my computer set at 2560x1080 resolution. The game's display resolution options didn't present me with my set resolution or any other ultrawide or ultratall resolutions, either.

    Tested by playing the game at 3840x2160 resolution.
  5. Verified by User:MasterBlaster on 2023-06-24
    Tested by taking several screenshots in the same spot on the overworld at an angle with several AF sample rates and comparing them. The game appears to force 8x AF when toggled in-game, as disabling and testing AF at lower strengths through Nvidia Control Panel resulted in blurrier textures. Forcing 8x AF through the Control Panel puts it at a match for the AF set by the game.

    Tested in 7.1 using Orban Loudness Meter in conjunction with Razer Surround.
  7. Verified by User:MasterBlaster on 2023-06-24
    Tested by playing the game in 1200p after checking High DPI settings in the game's exe properties. This allowed the game to be played properly without any cropping.
