FMVs & sounds are fine with no apparent issues.
On Vulkan, lag is severe and makes the game unplayable with certain camera angles (issue 1137). Drops to 30FPS regularly.
On OpenGL, game has significant improvements and is actually quite playable besides minor issues. There are frame drops sometimes, but they're only for a quarter of a second before going right back to 60. It's pretty unnoticeable in standard gameplay.
Resolution scaling with OpenGL seems to work fine and introduces no new issues.

Yard lines do not disappear based on where camera is, showing improvement.
Issue 2173 still occurs (shadow errors on both referee and players on night maps).
