Issues unresolved
Low resolution textures
- On some configurations, the game may suddenly only show low resolution textures, no matter the actual texture fidelity settings. Only a restart of the game fixes this. [3]
- This is mostly a campaign issue and happens when the VRAM is close to being fully used (enable "Show Stats" in video settings) and a level transition, checkpoint reload or cut-scene takes place, causing the VRAM to go over its budget. Lowering the various VRAM related settings can help to somewhat prolong the issue. [4]
- Despite the drop in texture resolution, the VRAM usage does not decrease, instead the performance will also become worse.
Issues fixed
Voices are muffled
