Seems like I'm having the same issues with it. We're both on CF, right?

There are huge tailbacks on the M25 after it was partially closed due
to a serious collision between a pedestrian and a car around midday on
Thursday.Both sections of the major motorway was closed between J29 for
Hornchurch and J28 for Brentwood as emergency services responded to
the scene.Despite The Standard no longer being printed, I can't believe this literal* car crash of language gets published online by a supposed journalist.
*in the contemporary sense

One of them isn't real. That model of container bin wasn't introduced until 1972.

You need a switch.

Sounds odd. Am using 21:9 @ 3440 x 1440 here.

I started it last night with the intention of just checking out the fancy rendering.
Four hours later had to force myself to turn it off and get some sleep. Having tried to avoid previews and reviews, the gameplay is not what I was expecting. Feels more like an old adventure game than the FPS I was expecting, given the semi-open world and relative lack of combat. Very impressed all round so far.

Maybe there needs to be a tape in there? Not going to chance it until I find one.
A pre-recorded tape won't allow you to accidentally record. It will be missing the tabs which press the plunger that tester mentions.

Did anyone check the odds of Ferrari taking the constructors before the start of this race?
Despite Norris's race position it's looking precarious for McLaren. Piastri doesn't look likely to recover any significant points.

Very much into Stalker 2 now. Plenty of largely forgivable jankiness, but they're pretty good on getting patches out. Find a few things pretty annoying tho...
The lighting balance is weird. Even in broad daylight, interiors of the smallest buildings with the door wide open are so dark you have to constantly turn the torch on and off. Light sources also seem to fall off far too quickly, only illuminating a small radius around them. Increasing gamma doesn't really help.
There's no prone mechanic, which is a really weird omission considering the game can otherwise be played somewhat stealthily.
Worst of all, having to chose between authentic Ukrainian and awful English voice acting. I can't for the life of me understand why they didn't just get the Ukrainian actors to also record their lines in English rather than use native English speakers with all sorts of random accents. Having to rely on subtitles for cut scenes is perfectly acceptable, but needing to read stuff at the bottom of the screen is shit during gameplay. Lots of background dialog is also just lost.
7.5/10 so far.
I thought it was great, and yet felt pretty underwhelmed after finishing it. Didn't feel like I rushed through it at all, but only managed just over 20 hours.
The open levels were the highlight but the rest felt like very standard FPS fare. The non-shooty gameplay was novel for a while, but taking out Nazis with toilet brushes or whatever else came to hand got repetitive eventually.
