Issues unresolved
Game Stutters on switching music files during gameplay
- Since the same tracks play in the same looping order every time and the game has no problem playing long music files, the initial tracks can be appended with the others until they are longer than a play session to ensure the stutter doesn't happen. The tracks that play (looping) ingame are:
- m03.ogg to m04.ogg to m05.ogg for West Coast
- m08.ogg to m09.ogg to m10.ogg for Glitter Oasis
- m13.ogg to m14.ogg to m15.ogg for Small Apple
