Issues unresolved
Battle - low frame rate on time compression
- During battle, time compression causes frame rate to drop from a normal rate to below 5 FPS. Game becomes much less responsive.
- Possible fix is to minimize detail.
- The frame rate drop affects the UI. To cancel time compression, click and hold the "-" button for a few frames.
