Issues unresolved
Loud motor sound throughout Rubacava
You may hear a loud motor sound at times throughout Rubacava. This is the sound of the motor pump in Toto's tattoo parlor. While the bug was never fixed, as a workaround if you hear the noise, enter Toto's tattoo parlor and exit it again. This should stop the sound.[5]

Notes
- ↑ The actual video files have been already upscaled from 640x480 to 1920x1080 using bicubic upscaling and burned-in pillarboxes. This results in a softer image with less aliasing and fewer noticeable compression artefacts than the original.

- It did not display any screen tearing, but it did output an excessive 170+ FPS on my 60 Hz display.

- Checked media information in VLC. The game uses Ogg Theora for FMVs, with standard 160 kbps Vorbis audio.
