Issues fixed

Aggressive object culling

In-game objects tends to be aggressively-culled from the scene, resulting in distracting "pop-in" - especially towards the end of the game.[5][6]
Edit registry[7][8]
  1. To open the Registry Editor press Win+R, type regedit and press Enter.
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, and locate the folder Inkle Ltd\Heaven's Vault
  3. Double click UnityGraphicQuality_h1669003810, change base to Decimal and set the value to 100.
  4. Close the Registry Editor and launch the game.

    Played through the entire game, ensuring the following settings are kept. Pop-in experienced before, especially in the end-game, are eliminated.
