- Character animations are capped at 30 FPS.

patch updates the Matrox OEM version 8.6.6 to version 8.6.8 to fix a saving issue, note that save files created with version 8.6.6 will no longer be compatible after patching it to version 8.6.8 and must be deleted. Thettsndfix.zip
patch is not meant for any Special Editions, but rather the retail versions of Tonic Trouble.
