Key points
- Includes the new English localization.[3]
- The game uses 1800p as the internal render resolution, regardless of the resolution selected by the player. This causes performance differences between resolutions to be almost non-existent as the image is only scaled to the chosen resolution. The developers have acknowledged and are working on a fix.[4]

- Verified on Steam version, using Special K's Render Toolkit to inspect the render target view. This command line argument changes the view from the original 4096x1800 to 4096x2160. Note that parts of the view is entirely black and not actually in use.
