Issues fixed
Character movement is slow and choppy
- This bug can happen on some systems when running the patched version of the game (version 1.2).
Test with the unpatched version 1.0
Game runs too fast
- The engine that Nightmare Creatures uses is a strange one where SOME of the animations and game logic is tied to the frame-rate of the game, but not all. Hence, although it is possible to play through the game at 60+ FPS, it is actually recommended to run it around 30FPS for the most authentic and pleasant gaming experience.
Limit the frame rate to 30 FPS |
