compat_comments: Intro's / Cutscenes:
-----------------------
Fmv’s are fine.

Sound:
-----------------------
audio is fine

Performance / Gameplay:
-----------------------
Performance is ok, doesn't lock to 60 fps all the time.

Graphics:
-----------------------
Unable to upscale as it causes severe graphical issues do postprocessing effect breaking when upscaled. There is also mesh corruption in one area of Paris where Concrete Barriers ending up infront of the road do ARL instruction inaccuracies.  Perspective-correct interpolation for w-buffering pr fixed the clipping issues when being able to see-though floor in some places no longer produced. 

Would need to test it more but should be playable
