High Framerate Issues

Glitchy enemies and NPCs AI

With framerate higher than 60 there are many problems with AI of monsters and human characters. Game is possibly unfinishable with risk of certain NPCs not trigger some key cutscenes. This issue can be fixed by changing refresh rate of monitor to 60 Hz before starting the game.
