streaming (posting of the decoration to the wire of the displacement of the player), slower than in LCS,
of large jerks being able to occur during the part,
vehicles appearing with back under the bridge,
bugs of collisions (signposts falling whereas the cars run on the road, feet of the characters which cross the ground…)
vehicles which are inserted in the ground

irregularly the conversations can be dumb
