compat_comments: Intro's / Cutscenes:
-----------------------
The FMV Intro and cutscenes work as intended but have graphical artefacts in the menus FMVs.

Sound:
-----------------------
The sounds work as intended.

Performance / Gameplay:
-----------------------
Performance seems to have improved quite a bit since I last tested this mostly locked 60 on opengl with a few minor dips here and there. Some maps, namely pool, seem to have drops to low 50's when far away from the opponent but much better than it was previously. Upscaling is not recommended as it heavily degrades performance, at 2x dropping to low 40's . Vulkan has terrible performance dropping to 15 fps at 1x so not playable on that renderer.

Graphics:
-----------------------
Couldn't see any graphical issues that don't also occur on hardware.

Note: Tested all maps seem to run fine
