Issues unresolved
Dynamic shadow rendering bug
- Dynamic shadows of certain characters and objects are rendered incorrectly.
- Turning off dynamic shadows in video settings isn't an improvement, because it also turns off light in outdoor areas.
Game freezes when changing video settings
- It can sometimes happen that the game freezes when changing dynamic light, anti-aliasing or filtering mode in the video settings menu.
