Issues fixed

DualShock 4 controller not recognized[7]

DualShock 4 controllers are natively supported, but only with Version 1 controllers. Version 2 controllers appear as a generic "Wireless Controller" with generic button prompts.
Use DS4Windows to emulate a version 1 DualShock 4 controller.

Hitstop/freeze frame when hitting enemies

Every time a hit is made, the game freezes for a frame, and if there are multiple hits at the same time, it results in the game freezing for many frames in a row.
Disable hitstop freeze frame[8]

Notes

It only works with an up-to-date Steam version of the game.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/427190/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (427190) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
