Issues unresolved
Dialogue doesn't trigger once you exit the doctor's office at the beginning of chapter 7, softlocking the game. Both the Steam and Microsoft Store versions suffer from this.
Some aspects of the AI seems to be tied to framerate, resulting in fights being harder to complete above 30fps - for example, the AI will dodge out of combos that it would not normally be able to above 30 frames.
Some aspects of the physics also seem to be tied to framerate, such as enemy ragdolls and physics objects.
