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. |
