Issues unresolved

VSync setting is ineffective upon restart (Aleph One port)

Upon restarting the scenario, players may find that the VSync setting, despite still being enabled, no longer prevents screen tearing.
The only solution is to reset the setting; this process must be repeated each time that the scenario is relaunched.
Reset the setting
  1. From the main menu, navigate to the Graphics menu, followed by the Rendering Options menu. Disable the VSync setting.
  2. Start a new game or continue a saved game.
  3. Exit the game and return to the main menu.
  4. Navigate to the Rendering Options menu and enable the VSync setting.
