- 'Next generation content' option contains bugs such as missing wetness effects on Lara as well as misaligned ropes and vines.
- In-game MSAA (labeled as Fullscreen Anti-Aliasing) will disable shadows for the normal, not Next Generation Content graphics. For some reason, Next Gen graphics aren't affected by this.
