Known Nether Bugs

Lighting bleeds into adjacent cells in some areas.
This is a fault in the scheme used by the renderer to manipulate and display adjacent sectors. It is intrinsic to game design.
UNFIXABLE.
Looking around corners doesn't work.
This fault is related to the above bug. Since it too is based on the intrinsic way the renderer treats adjacent sectors, it is also ...
UNFIXABLE.
Monsters cause a noticible renderer slowdown.
This isn't the renderer, it's the engine. We just need to optimize more.
FIX IN PROGRESS.
Monsters seem to get scaled irregularly, like from large to small in one step.
For speed, Nether relies on the hardware scaling system. Since there are only two sprite sizes, popping is inevitable. This is a hardware problem.
UNFIXABLE.
