Hello Shadow Assassins!
Just a quick update, nothing fancy.. but with some interesting stuff for some users.
Changelog for Patch 01.04b:
* NEW: Added more player feedback in Hikaru boss fight. His orb will push you back if you try to attack him twice from the same side, and Yamiko will offer some insightful comments.
* NEW: Added Directx9 compatibility mode as launch option for windows users.
* MISC: Gamma range in Graphic Options has been expanded. Might help users with 'dark screen' issues.
* MISC: Ending cinematic can now be skipped.
* MISC: Changed engine light equation to have a more pronounced 'cel shading' style. This results in more clear contrasts between light and shadows in problematic angles.
* FIX: Improved general performance in some chapters by tweaking the Occlusion Culling parameters.
* FIX: Improved general performance in some chapters by reducing enemy activation distance.
* FIX: Warriors at the cinematic from Chapter VII are now not taken into account for chapter score.

There's some big updates planned in the future focusing on customization and multiplayer interaction. We'll keep releasing patches to fix bugs and improve performance.
