Might be stutters in areas where you transition levels since it was designed around much faster NVMe speeds (with special Sony compression on top which sped things up further)

This is a Early Access game so quite unfinished despite being in development for a VERY long time ( I think 8yrs )

Scaling is hard to get right when everyone uses a completely different window backend. In saying that they should get it right for each of the major desktop engines like XFCE/GNOME/PLASMA/CINAMON etc...

The SD here in Australia can be had for a large mark up with no warranty because their all imports.
