Issues fixed

Audio and video out of sync during cutscenes

Limit FPS to 60 In the PC Settings menu, set the display frequency to 60 Hz. In the Lost Planet profile in your GPU control panel, make sure the preferred refresh rate is set to application-controlled.

Frequent crashes in DX10 mode

Copy old dxgi.dll and d3d10.dll files to the installation folder Search your C:\Windows\winsxs folder for dxgi.dll and d3d10.dll The correct dxgi.dll file was modified on 11/20/2010 or 11/21/2010 (depending on region) and is 496 KB. The correct d3d10.dll file was modified on 7/13/2009 or 7/14/2009 (depending on region) and is 0.98 MB. Copy both files to your Lost Planet installation folder, where the .exe files are.
