Issues unresolved[edit]
In-game cutscenes do not display correctly using non-4:3 resolutions[edit]
- When a non-4:3 resolution is used, in-game cutscenes will assume the resolution is still 4:3, causing various display issues.
Use a 4:3 resolution[5] |

- Game seems to enumerate whatever MSAA options are available to the GPU; on my old GTX 970, it was 2x-8x, while on my current, iGPU Intel laptop, it's 1x-16x.
