Issues unresolved
Lock-on issues at vertical resolutions higher than 1080p
- At such resolutions, the lock-on marker will prefer targets towards the right side of the screen when not locked on, and will flicker when locked on. Setting the resolution to one that is 1080 pixels high or less will result in the lock-on marker behaving normally again.[3]
