You can find the full list of changes below:

• Controls have been enhanced and inertia of movement lowered.

• The contents of ammo boxes have been rebalanced.

• A rare bug that could occur when purchasing the Magwa in Shamazaar has been fixed.

• Fixed a bug that caused some characters (for example Zokrim) to get stuck in bodies of water, and sometimes blocking progression.

• A display issue that caused Naarn to not properly display in some instances has been fixed.

• Added a "vibrant colors" graphic mode. (Thanks to Dmity Andreev for this feature)

• Implemented true full screen mode (as opposed to the default borderless windowed full screen) as an option in order to alleviate stuttering that appeared on some PC configurations.

• A target frame rate option has been added.

• Ultra-widescreen support (21:9) has been implemented.

• Audio options with separate volume controls have been added to the options menu.
