Known Issues

  • Rendering performance needs to be optimized on Backbone, especially for older GPUs.
  • Some antivirus programs incorrectly classify the "GameAssembly.dll" file as malware and delete it, making the game unplayable. If that happens, please whitelist the "GameAssembly.dll" and "Menace.exe".
  • If the game is installed on HDD drives, loading times are bad and barks are delayed.
  • Display mode "Fullscreen" sometimes behaves not as expected, after minimizing the game. Until this is fixed please consider using "Fullscreen Window" instead.
