Issues unresolved
Clipping problems when climbing stairs
- At high frame rates (+150fps) there will be clipping problems on some stairs
Issues fixed
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Maximum selectable refresh rate is 60 Hz. This does not limit FPS, but may set your monitor's refresh rate to 100 Hz, which may result in screen tearing on a 120 Hz or 144 Hz monitor.
Set fullscreen refresh rate[citation needed] |
