Small Framerate/V-sync fix

Hello everyone,

We’ve just released a small update to address the following issues:

Unstable framerate / slow mouse movement
Page Up / Page Down not behaving correctly

The first issue was somewhat tricky, as it was not directly related to our code but rather to an engine-level problem. It was introduced in the latest build due to changes in how Windows handles timing, combined with how this affects V-sync behavior on certain GPUs. The engine vendor has since released an update, and we also adjusted a few settings on our end to mitigate the issue.

If you’re still experiencing slow mouse movement or incorrect framerate, please go to Settings > Video Options and try disabling V-sync and/or adjusting the framerate limit. This should resolve the issue on most systems.

The second issue was related to how Page Up / Page Down behaved during rollback. This has now been fixed. You can also invert the rollback direction in Settings > Gameplay Options, if needed.

Thank you for your continued support,
The Love-Joint Team
