Pop-in issues

The game has severe pop-in issues, and there are no settings for changing the render distance.^[5]

Screen Tearing

Game suffers from screen tearing in borderless mode regardless of settings. Only enabling VSync in fullscreen fixes the issue. Forcing Vsync through GPU control panel has no effect.^{[citation needed]}

Issues fixed
