Issues unresolved

Stuttering

Certain particle effects may cause frame drops even on high-end PCs
Possible workaround to reduce stuttering[8]
  1. Disable Vsync in the video settings menu.
  2. See Frame rate capping to limit the frame rate.

Xbox One Wireless Controller

A lot of users report ghost input when using the wireless Xbox Controller Adapter. Same as with other Unity titles the game registers that the left stick is always pushed to the left.
