Hitches when moving around in the game
- The game can slightly hitch very briefly when moving around in the environment of the game, especially when walking into new rooms. This is independent from settings or hardware, and is not shader compilation-related as shaders are pre-compiled for this game. It is likely related to loading.[9]

. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (1361210) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
