Issues fixed
Graphical artifacts
Black visual artifacts can sometimes appear on the terrain and some objects. Turning off the reflections in the in-game graphics menu and restarting the game has fixed this issue for some players.[2]
Issues unresolved
Bright Water
At night the water appears very bright, especially with a lower quality preset selected.[3]
