⚔️ Known Issues:
- We are aware of an existing issue where loading gets stuck at Moon Logo or black screen if Vertical Sync in NVIDIA Control Panel 3D Settings is set to “Fast” Sync. We are working on identifying a permanent fix, but in the meantime please set Vertical Sync to “Use the 3D application setting” for Global Settings or specifically for No Rest For The Wicked Program Settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel to bypass this issue.
