Issues fixed
Physics broken at high framerates
- High framerates can cause the game's physics to not work correctly, making levels impossible to complete. This can be seen from the Intro 2 level and onwards, with the security bots being unable to mount into their armor suits.
| Cap FPS to 60 or below[citation needed] |
