-==Issues unresolved==
-===Shader compilation stutter===
-The game suffers from noticeable regular shader compilation (CPU compiling GPU code) related stuttering whenever anything new appears on screen during gameplay. This issue is exacerbate by there being no pre-compilation of shaders at the main menu as shaders are only compiled during gameplay whenever needed.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1599660/discussions/0/3464983493942329211/|title=Shader Compilation Stutter!! #Stutterstruggle - Steam Discussion Forum|date=2022-10-28}}</ref><ref>{{Refcheck|user=Mrtnptrs|date=2022-10-28|comment=Encountered quite severe shader compilation stuttering in the few first minutes of the game.
