Issues unresolved
VSync setting is ineffective upon restart (Aleph One port)
- Upon restarting the scenario, players may find that the VSync setting, despite still being enabled, no longer prevents screen tearing.
- The only solution is to reset the setting; this process must be repeated each time that the scenario is relaunched.
