compat_rating: Playable
compat_comments: playable on both opengl and vulkan; opengl has great performance in cutscenes and gameplay at even high internal rendering resolutions, with very low and consistent frametimes, no graphics artifacts noted; vulkan has decent performance at high internal rendering resolutions but is noticeably slower running between 40 to 50 fps depending on the cutscene and gameplay situation, heavy reduction in framerates with alpha transparencies like when camera pans across cars on the bridge in tanker intro with headlights, no graphics artifacts noted
