| |current state = The original Japanese release of the game was supported through patches until April 21, 2012, and the English version is already up-to-date with the latest patches. Despite the improvements featured in this remaster, however, the game is still limited to 4:3 resolutions, keyboard remapping is still limited to the hard-coded keys supported by the game, analog triggers from XInput controllers are not supported, and keyboard and controller bindings are still tied to each other. Steam user cyanic has created a program called Astebreed Tweaker, a tool that can change some of the hard-coded settings of ''[[Astebreed]]'' and it supports some other games developed by Edelweiss, however, due the nature of this game, attempting to play the game with non-4:3 resolutions can cause glitches and misaligned UI elements.<ref name="Astetweak issues">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/283680/discussions/0/594820656471339511/?ctp=2#c2968397584541556638|title=Astebreed Tweaker: Edit screen resolutions and key mappings, post #25 - Steam Community Discussions|date=2021-06-05}}</ref> | | |current state = The original Japanese release of the game was supported through patches until April 21, 2012, and the English version is already up-to-date with the latest patches.
