Yup. For me, the only way to bypass the mayor cutscene is to choose a map where the coast is in the right. But sadly, all stuctures are invisible and cannot be interact. It's sad though.Decided to try out animal crossing new leaf again after a few months and it runs better! Still not great, which is expected, but it's playable to some extent! You can even get past the mayor cutscene now if you get lucky.
I'm running an i5 4570k oc to 4.0GHz and a GTX 970 with 16GB of ram so it runs as well as it can for the state it's currently in. I'm excited to see more progress
