compat_rating: Playable
compat_comments: The game is fully playable start to end, although you need to play the game at 1x resolution or you get bad graphical artifacts. The game still suffers from moderate graphical issues though like some shadows not appearing depending on time of day and weather, also night time headlights do not work. There are also some hitches at times but nothing too jarring.
