Issues fixed

In Asian language OS, text-related errors such as non-displayed text, garbled text, etc.

Backup and replace files
  1. Backup filesystem_x86.dll.
  2. Download this patch.
  3. Unzip the filesystem_x86.dll in the compressed package of the patch to the location of the original filesystem_x86.dll

Run the game at screen refresh rate

In-game refresh rate option supports up to 100 Hz only.
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Video.scr with a text editor.
  3. Set MaxRefresh to the screen refresh rate (e.g. MaxRefresh(120)).
  4. The game doesn't default to have vysnc enabled. You will need to add the line VSync() manually at the bottom of the config.

Audio cutting out/crackling

Edit Audio.scr[3]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\naild\Out\Settings.
  2. Open Audio.scr in text editor of your choice.
  3. Find MixFrequency(44100) and change 44100 to the audio frequency used by your system.
  4. Find Channels(48) and change it to Channels(64) (or higher, if this doesn't helps).
  5. Save the file and set it to Read-Only.

Intro and menu videos play upside down and/or are black and white
