Issues fixed

In Asian language OS, text-related errors such as non-displayed text, garbled text, etc.

Backup and replace files
Backup filesystem_x86.dll. Download this patch. Unzip the filesystem_x86.dll in the compressed package of the patch to the location of the original filesystem_x86.dll

Run the game at screen refresh rate

In-game refresh rate option supports up to 100 Hz only.

Set screen refresh rate^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `Video.scr` with a text editor. Set `MaxRefresh` to the screen refresh rate (e.g. `MaxRefresh(120)`). The game doesn't default to have vysnc enabled. You will need to add the line `VSync()` manually at the bottom of the config.

Audio cutting out/crackling

Edit Audio.scr^[3]
Go to `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\naild\Out\Settings`. Open `Audio.scr` in text editor of your choice. Find `MixFrequency(44100)` and change 44100 to the audio frequency used by your system. Find `Channels(48)` and change it to `Channels(64)` (or higher, if this doesn't helps). Save the file and set it to Read-Only.

Intro and menu videos play upside down and/or are black and white
