Character shadows and lighting remain imperfect; optional extra-hero models/animations have known defects. Above-60-fps play can break animations and cause audio crackle; widescreen effects may misalign. Optional third-party GameCube texture pack is separate, and its reuse rights were not verified. Official 1.9.3 testing reports one level from boot under OpenGL, not full-game or all-device validation.
