Issues

• CPU timing when booting the game, usually guest crash or freeze (preventable).
• requires readback_resolve to correct lighting.
• bike headlights don't cast light.
• some lights are not occluded.
• game speed tied to FPS, requires 60FPS to avoid slowdowns.

Playable from start to finish, including DLC content. I wasn't able to complete the last 2 tracks in Extreme difficulty (Big Thrills DLC) because of skill issue and no patience, but I'm sure it can be done.

Modern CPUs are too fast to launch this game on Canary, the process has to be slowed down, for example with Windows task manager. Utilizing only 1 thread on 11900k until menu loads is pretty much 100% success rate. Once menus are loaded, all thread affinity can be restored.

Good to see the booting issue has been found. I wonder if this fix can be worked into a simple patch instead of having to limit threads via task manager.
