Issues unresolved
High FPS issues
- Dialogue doesn't trigger once you exit the doctor's office at the beginning of chapter 7, softlocking the game. Both the Steam and Microsoft Store versions suffer from this.
- Some aspects of the AI seems to be tied to framerate, resulting in fights being harder to complete above 30fps - for example, the AI will dodge out of combos that it would not normally be able to above 30 frames.
- Some aspects of the physics also seem to be tied to framerate, such as enemy ragdolls and physics objects.
