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. 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. Issue 2258: Yard lines that are farther from the camera tend to flash in and out of existence based on camera position. Issue 2173 still occurs (shadow errors on both referee and players on night maps). _id: 684f3471d5a78df74e50c23c provided_by_discord_id: 110256890549678080 provided_by_discord_name: blakeplusplus#0
