Issues fixed
Irregular game speed and desynchronized sound
- Certain animations, such as mouth movement, are tied to frame rate. Consequently, at high frame rates, animations appear erratic and sound may become desynchronized.
Limit frame rate to 60 FPS[citation needed] |
---|
Select a 60 Hz screen mode or use a frame-rate-capping method. |
Problems launching game on Windows 10
Enable the following compatibility settings for the Game.exe file: Compatibility mode (Windows XP (Service Pack 3)) , Reduced color mode (8-bit (256) color) , Run in 640x480 screen resolution , and Run this program as an administrator [5][6]

- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (46500) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
