    Issues fixed

    2. Unpack the files to the installation folder and overwrite when prompted.

    Notes

    Replaces in game cursor icon with fully transparent texture.
    Aimed for players who use game pad exclusively for this game, to avoid cursor appearing in cutscenes and in screenshots.
    Doesn't remove system cursor in borderless mode.
    Not recommended for keyboard and mouse players.

    Microstutters ingame

    Disable Windows Game Mode on Windows 10[8]

    The following fix is for older versions of Windows 10 where Game Mode was known to affect the runtime of games. Recent versions of Game Mode no longer affect the currently running game, and should not cause stutter, but if you are interested in troubleshooting, here is how you disable Game Mode:

    1. Enter Windows Settings > Gaming > Game Mode.
    2. Switch it to off
    Toggle VRR/G-SYNC[9]

    On some systems, the game can exhibit stutters at regular intervals no matter if you are in a certain kind of gameplay, menu, or cut-scene. The issue can occur regardless of other settings, open applications, and game graphics options. This can be worked around by toggling G-SYNC, FreeSync, or some other kind of VRR technology and relaunching the game after your PC is configured to your monitor. If using an NVidia GPU, disable G-SYNC in your NVIDIA Control Panel, or if the issue occurs with an AMD system make sure to disable FreeSync. You can re-enable VRR using the same method and hopefully run the game with less stuttering, or leave it disabled and see if it fixes the issue.

    Inventory corruption

    Sometimes, the game will fail to save, and this can cause items in your inventory to become corrupted. If the game does not display 'save complete' at the bottom right of the screen, continue trying to save until it does save successfully, and your inventory should be fixed. It is recommended to keep multiple saves in case it is not fixed by a successful save, however.


    Issues unresolved

    Karaoke replay loading screen lag

    When replaying karaoke cinematics, the white loading screen may appear for too long, causing the cutscene itself to show a few seconds into the song, unlike in console versions where the cinematic is revealed almost immediately.[10]
