I'm hoping the texture filtering will fix the shimmering I'm experiencing, even in Legacy mode, where the stars glisten in the background. But otherwise, glad to see more improvements.

yeah thats one of the reasons I added it. depending on your monitor resolution it gets scaling artifacts. 1440p or higher looks best
