Issues unresolved
Dialogue gets cut off mid-sentence
- Happens occasionally throughout the game. However, the issue can't be reproduced consistently, making it difficult to troubleshoot.
- Forcing vertical sync should resolve the issue, for users with variable or high refresh rate displays it may be preferable to use half refresh rate sync. If the game runs at 60 frames per seconds normally and the issue remains, manually limit the frame rate at 30 FPS should fully resolve it.[5]
Alt+Tab in fullscreen breaks the game
- Run in windowed mode as a workaround.
