Working as Designed Visual flickering on edge of screen when moving at high speed (≥124 mph)

When the player is moving at 124 mph or faster, the side of the screen in the direction of movement occasionally shows brief vertical black flickers. These appear right at the far edge of the screen where new terrain should be loading in.
The game itself doesn't lag and performance remains smooth, but it looks like the world isn't loading in visually fast enough to keep up with the player's movement speed. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a known limitation on mobile, but it happens often enough to be distracting.

I'm pretty sure theres no way around this.

This is an issue with the lighting engine and happens on all platforms.

This isn't lag or a bug, just the game not being made to load terrain that fast.

For some more details: the game basically renders the world at a lower frame rate to improve performance, which can become visible in some cases like this.
