Issues unresolved
Forcing anti-aliasing
- If using anti-aliasing (MSAA, at least), the Depth of Field effect becomes corrupted (halos around objects).[citation needed]
- Post-process AA (FXAA, MLAA) works as intended (best compatibility in conjunction with the D3D9-11 wrappers).
Issues fixed
Motion trails
- The light sources affected by bloom leaves long dark motion trails on screen when camera is moving.
Turn off the fullscreen smoothing filter[citation needed] |

Notes
|
Frame rate fluctuation
- Frame rate may fluctuate between 30 and 60 FPS.
- Both solutions won't work properly with a low FPS. Minimal FPS must be at least 50+.[3]
