Anti-aliasing (AA)
- TAA provides much better image stability and quality than FXAA and is cheap to use.
- This may cause the main menu to shake.[6]
Replace FXAA with TAA[7] |

Full controller support | The acceleration control (default R2/RZ/RT) is prone to a bug where it doesn't reach full throttle and instead jitters at ~75%. This can presently only be fixed by restarting the game. Disconnecting the controller can make it unable to reconnect to the game while it's running. | |
Controller remapping | Two different presets for acceleration/yaw controls and map/weapon switching. | |
