Issues fixed

Crash at Hardshell boss fight

The game crashes when Hardshell launches rockets for the 2nd or 3rd times. This might because of your Nvidia Settings.

Go to the NVIDIA Control Panel, Manage 3D settings, Program Settings, Add (<path-to-game>\Binaries\TFOC.exe), then select High-performance NVIDIA processor.
