Issues Unresolved
Stuttering
- Game may stutter when played on a slow hard disk or USB drive. Upgrading to an SSD fixes the issue.
- Contrary to popular belief, Denuvo is not to blame for such stuttering, as this issue can also occur on console versions with slow drives. [4]

- "When you fire up the remaster for the first time, you're presented with a logo trumpeting the use of the Blind Squirrel Engine but what does this mean? Well, according to 'Skyth', who did some digging into the game files, it still uses the original C++ code and the Hedgehog Engine but the graphics backend is handled by the Godot Engine. Godot is completely free and open-source under the very permissive MIT license."
