Known issues

  • Enabling the Texture Combiner will result in lighting being broken in game. It's suggested to keep it off.
  • When a lot of sounds are played simultaneously, framerate can hinder a bit (down to 30-40 fps).
  • Music playback and sounds sometime can go out of sync and/or repeat small chunks (This is due to a bug in fluidsynth).

Changelog

  • Fixed a bug preventing to correctly save game.
  • Reduced CPU workload by offloading wvp matrix calculation to GPU. (Slight performance improvements).
