Issues unresolved
Dialogue gets cut off mid-sentence
- Happens occasionally throughout the game, but it's not very consistent, making it difficult to troubleshoot the issue.[citation needed]
- Enabling Vsync on 60hz monitors may fix the issue, however if it doesn't, a cap at 30 FPS should resolve it.[citation needed]
Alt+Tab in fullscreen breaks the game
- Run in windowed mode as a workaround.
