Issues fixed

Game runs fast and very buggy

The game by default is locked at 25 FPS. Disabling the limit from the game configuration files will result in a game with accelerated animations, fully broken AI, cinematics that end before time, etc.

Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to deactivate the limit that the game brings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjFourYp-tc
