|Comments=Tested on the 25th of April, 2022. The game is practically problem-free. With the exception of some (as of currently) unfixable but rather minor issues (updated all of them below in Known Issues category), the game works great. The optimizations of the dev builds have made it run even smoother than before. Recommended to not use any manual hardware hacks unless you require to test something out. | |||
