Hello!

Making a bit of a blanket post here since this game has been getting a little more traffic lately and a few people have reached out to me and I don't respond as fast as I could.

If you've picked this game up recently and noticed that when you look at some leaderboard runs (mine included) it might look like my gameplay and some other runners is faster than yours or others.

The best explanation I have for this so far seems to be the frame rate at which the game is running.

I've since reinstalled this game on a new machine and seen the slow down a lot of new players are experiencing, with my game stuck running at a range of 43-48 FPS, which makes the game feel and look slow and sluggish. My old runs were done on an older (and much worse) PC at 60 fps, so this does not appear to be a hardware issue.

I have also had some people download the game from the steam page for the very first time recently and launch it and play at 60 FPS, so it is not some weird update to make the game slower that was pushed through, I assume.

I'm really not a tech guy so I don't know much more to do up to this point. It's my understanding a runner has reached out to the devs to see about getting this sorted out. If there is never any response I will consider adding a filter or category for the game being played at the lower FPS, but for now I want to be a bit patient in hopes that the devs will provide a fix to what I'm assuming is a bug.

If anyone finds a way to fix the issue and get the game back to running at 60 FPS consistently, please message me or post here.

This video shows off all of the currently known uses of IWC that save time in speedruns. Some of the clips shown in the video are not used in runs or in certain categories because of a loss of beats required for crests, or because that particular trick is inconsistent.
