Ver. 1.4.2 Patch Update Notice

We are pleased to share the details of the Ver.1.4.2 update.

Specification Changes:
  • Marathon Mode Music Expansion:
    At the licensor’s request, Marathon mode now features three distinct tracks in a three-part structure.
  • Auto-Pause on Taskbar Drag Removed:
    The feature that paused BGM when dragging the game window to the taskbar has been eliminated.
  • Auto-Pause on Minimize to Task Tray Added:
    The BGM will now automatically pause whenever the application is minimized to the system tray.


Bug Fixes:
  • Fullscreen Refresh-Rate Issue on Multi-Monitor Setups:
    Added handling for cases where the primary monitor’s refresh rate does not propagate correctly.
    Note: If you use FPS measurement tools (e.g., Intel PresentMon), please synchronize all monitors to the same refresh rate, or run the game in windowed mode and use the in-game FPS display rather than an overlay.


Known Issue
  • On high-refresh-rate monitors, switching to fullscreen may prevent the game from launching.
    If this happens, delete the tgm4.ini file and then restart the game.

Ver. 1.4.1 Patch Update Notice

This is an announcement for the Ver. 1.4.1 update.

This wasn’t an emergency release, but we discovered content that conflicted with our guidelines and have corrected it. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Guideline Compliance Update
  • Changed the Marathon mode BGM to the officially mandated track.


Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where disabling “Fullscreen Optimizations” or “Optimizations for Windowed Games” caused abnormal refresh-rate behavior:
  • When these optimizations are disabled, VSync and refresh-rate settings are now properly ignored.
  • Disabled states are indicated by displaying the affected graphics‐setting values in red.
  • Resolved a bug in Normal mode replay playback where the bonus-game credit display would occasionally remain on screen.
