Hitches when moving around in the game
- The game can slightly hitch very briefly when moving around in the environment of the game, especially when walking into new rooms. This is independent from settings or hardware, and is not shader compilation-related as shaders are pre-compiled for this game. It is likely related to loading.[9]
