Wishing well or village well? I could see that maybe on a wishing well but they aren't supposed to have a blurry background, and the village water well blurry background renders once then stores the result. On my setup it naturally caps the framerate, so it's probably related to an individual setup not capping it.
The forest not completing is probably a missing check or trigger my end. I'll look into it although it's not vital for progression.
