Issues unresolved
Shader compilation stutter
The game suffers from noticeable regular shader compilation (CPU compiling GPU code) related stuttering whenever anything new appears on screen during gameplay. This issue is exacerbate by there being no pre-compilation of shaders at the main menu as shaders are only compiled during gameplay whenever needed.[8][9] This is an issue that happens often as of late particularly with Unreal Engine 4 games.[10]
