We have carried out an emergency update.

Retail version → ver. 1.8.5
Beta version → ver. 1.9.1

As a result of the ver. 1.9.0 (beta) release, we discovered that aside from the beta the retail version also had a major launch issue on Windows 11.

Therefore, we issued an emergency update:

Forced the V-Sync setting to OFF
Due to a priority issue with V-Sync settings on Windows 11

Known issue with the above change:
In borderless or windowed modes, the display may still show V-Sync as ON (it is actually OFF).
→ This will be fixed in the next update.

Thank you for your understanding.

We also confirmed the following bug in the beta version:

Fixed a situation where STANDARD style could sometimes be affected by Legacy input.
Replay data from ver. 1.9.0 (beta) will no longer reproduce correctly.
