TETRIS® THE GRAND MASTER 4 -ABSOLUTE EYE- News

We plan to release Ver. 1.2.2 on May 2.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IMPORTANT:
※ This update will not affect existing replay data.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In Ver. 1.2.0, we introduced VSync support, but it has been confirmed that it causes issues on some unsupported systems.

As a result, we have decided to revise the Graphics Settings.

Specifically, due to changes in how the monitor name is displayed under the "Device" field in Graphics Settings,
your graphics settings will be reset on the first launch after the update, and the game will start in full borderless mode on the primary monitor.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and kindly ask that you check and reconfigure your graphics settings after the update.

Graphics Settings Changes

• Changed the method used to retrieve monitor display names
  
• Added version information to tgm4.ini
  
• If the game window is positioned outside the screen area, it will now reset to the top-left (0,0) position
  
• Adjusted behavior when graphics settings cannot be retrieved, to properly reset configuration values
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where some text was not being displayed on the Achievements screen
  
• Fixed an issue in “Practice in Game Mode” where the Tetris Guide could still appear even after being disabled in the pause menu
  
• Fixed an issue in the medal settings screen under “Practice in Game Mode” where left/right arrows were not displayed correctly
  
• Fixed a bug in Windowed Mode under Graphics Settings where the behavior was incorrect if the monitor resolution was not 16:9
  

Thank you for your continued support.

As of now, TGM4 does not support DirectInput.

As a result, we have received reports that after restarting the game or performing updates,
input functionality may break, causing the game to become unresponsive.

If you encounter this issue, please try the following workaround:

1. Turn off Steam Cloud and exit Steam.
   
2. Delete the "option.ini" file located in the following directory:
   C:\Users\[Your PC Username]\AppData\Local\tgm4\savedata\[Your Steam Account ID]
   
3. Launch the game with Steam Cloud still turned off.
   

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
