Known issues

  • A few short pauses: a played session had a 1% low of 24 frames a second and a longest frame of 1.6 s, with about 1 s of stutter a minute.
  • Sound dropouts were logged in that session (86 in 12 minutes) though the player heard none.
  • Its memory grows by about 4 MB a minute in a race; a longer run hasn't shown whether it stops.
