Issues fixed

- The game's window may be larger than the resolution set in Windows' Display Settings or in the game's display options, causing the game to only show a portion of the screen.
- The game only renders at 720p, regardless of the resolution chosen in the game's settings, causing the game to look low-res and blurry.

- Tested by taking several screenshots in the same spot on the overworld at an angle with several AF sample rates and comparing them. The game appears to force 8x AF when toggled in-game, as disabling and testing AF at lower strengths through Nvidia Control Panel resulted in blurrier textures. Forcing 8x AF through the Control Panel puts it at a match for the AF set by the game.
