The game sets its pacing by using the Windows API QueryPerformanceCounter that returns a monotonically increasing total count of CPU cycles since boot. When it gets past 2<sup>40</sup>, the game becomes unplayable. At that point, the only option is to reboot the computer. |

Stuttering graphics
- When the computer has been up for a while (at least a week) or the Fast Boot option is enabled in Windows 8 or newer, the game will continually stutter regardless of the framerate, hardware capability, or operating system. The game sets its pacing by using the Windows API QueryPerformanceCounter that returns a monotonically increasing total count of CPU cycles since boot. When it gets past 240, the game becomes unplayable. At that point, the only option is to reboot the computer.
