First tester:

One issue occurred where the camera was spinning when stuck in a conversation over a phone because the camera was being moved at the same time.

Version 1.01 on disc, Version 1.0 in game.

-One or two cases of subtitles displaying twice.
-Very rare instances of subtitles not being accompanied by dialogue.
-Occasionally, before a loading screen, the screen goes back to gameplay and then to the loading screen.
-"Jetsam" trophy only unlocked after reloading.
-Slightly glitchy animations seen during two cutscenes and once when moving a lever.
-The hold bar QTE prompt displays holding both L2 and R2 as necessary, while only L2 is needed.
-Once, after reloading a checkpoint, a closed door showed a prompt to close it.
-Transitioning between the areas in the Pontoons toggles with a button press instead of a hold, as indicated by the prompt.
-When examining a sign at the beginning of a cinematic before relighting the flare, the camera spun around uncontrollably. Can cause dizziness, but the cinematic can be skipped.
-If trying to leave Marine Control before completing the objectives, sounds stops working. Fixed by reloading the checkpoint.
-In Marine Control, after completing the objectives, the last conversation with Finlay can be triggered again by picking up the phone, resulting in death due to failing the QTE.
