Issues fixed

Audio stuttering

Workaround

Disabling the radio can greatly improve audio performance.[5]

Issues unresolved

Resolution resetting to default between game sessions

No known fix.
Despite this issue, the resolution can still be set in the options menu as expected.[6]

Extreme performance drops near water (macOS)

Mac OS X players have reported severe framerate drops around melted water (temperature >25%).[7]
Reduce graphics settings in Options
For now, these performance issues can at least be worked around by reducing all graphics settings that affect water quality.
