Issues fixed
Character movement is slow and choppy
- This bug may occur on some systems when running the patched version of the game (version 1.2).
| Downgrade to unpatched version 1.0 |
|---|
Game runs too fast
- Due to the engine used, the game logic and some animations are tied to the frame rate; but not totally.
Therefore, although it is possible to play at 60 FPS or more, it is recommended to play at 30 FPS.
| Limit the frame rate to 30 FPS |
