It's a bigger update than usual: it contains bugfixes for the most annoying vanilla bugs and several new features! (Don't worry, if you have some episodes or individual levels built on bugs, you always can re-enable them using the
compat.ini file to repair the work of those levels back!)
* Added the Speed-Running system: run the game by giving special command-line arguments to enable the next features: level and episode stopwatch, displaying of pressed keys states, global adjusting of specific limits and bugs-features depending on a chosen speed-run mode.
* The frame-rate controller accuracy has been improved, and the frame-skip hell has been resolved!
* Added the "compat.ini" to adjust the bugs compatibility per levels and per episode. You can find the
manual here.
* Tuned the work of the credits screen.
* The work of the game loading screen now is smoother!
* Resolved the problem of a level restarting after player faults when auto-run events won't work at all.
