Key points
- In-game V-Sync limits framerate to half the monitor's refresh rate.
- A glitch in the game causes the difficulty to change itself when multiple save files are present. See Issues fixed.
- Very poor mouse input due to aggressive acceleration and lowered speed when running above 60 FPS. See Issues fixed.
