Issues fixed
Game runs too fast
- Frame rate higher than 60 makes the game run too fast, and the audio goes out of sync.
Workaround: Limit the frame rate |
---|
Limit the game to 60 FPS with RivaTuner Statistics Server or through Nvidia Control Panel. |
Run the game in Fullscreen mode (Fullscreen mode caps the game to 60hz/60fps) |
---|
Game has no sound
Replace openal.dll [3]
