+ | {{ii}} Minor spoiler ahead. | ||

+ | ====Missable Youkol relic==== | ||
+ | {{ii}} The monastery library's secret compartment and related window permanently close if one leaves the monastery without having taken the Youkol relic. The game prevents the player from re-lighting the necessary candles, and the item is required in order to progress. Thus, the only solution is to load an earlier save file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Issues fixed== | ||
+ | ===Irregular game speed and desynchronized sound=== | ||
+ | {{ii}} Certain animations, such as mouth movement, are tied to frame rate. Consequently, at high frame rates, animations appear erratic and sound may become desynchronized. | ||
+ | {{Fixbox|description=Limit frame rate to 60 fps|fix= | ||
+ | * Select a 60 Hz screen mode or use a [[Glossary:Frame rate (FPS)#Frame rate capping|frame-rate-capping method]]. | ||

Issues unresolved
- Minor spoiler ahead.
Missable Youkol relic
- The monastery library's secret compartment and related window permanently close if one leaves the monastery without having taken the Youkol relic. The game prevents the player from re-lighting the necessary candles, and the item is required in order to progress. Thus, the only solution is to load an earlier save file.
Issues fixed
Irregular game speed and desynchronized sound
- Certain animations, such as mouth movement, are tied to frame rate. Consequently, at high frame rates, animations appear erratic and sound may become desynchronized.
Limit frame rate to 60 fps |
---|
|
Vsync (Always on) not working on Windows 10
|
Black screen in the general store
- The game has a tendency to switch to a black screen after the cutscene in which the general store owner pulls down the ladder leading to the attic, at which point the player is unable to progress.
Restart the game[5] |

Skip the cutscene[6] |
