  VSync can be used when refresh rate is a multiple of 60 Hz

  Windowed resolutions now use a fixed 16:9 ratio table, separate from monitor specifications
  

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.

• Fixed an issue in SHIRANUI Mode where, under specific conditions, unlocked tiers could become restricted
  

Additional Feature

• The game now saves the data version to the data file for tracking purposes
  

Thank you for your continued support.

This is an announcement for the Ver. 1.1.3 update.

※ Replay data from versions earlier than 1.1.2 will remain compatible.

The following content has been added:

• Exhibition Tiers for SHIRANUI for players who have cleared Tier 101
  

Tiers 102, 103, and 104 have been added as exhibition content.
Currently, they are only selectable by users who have cleared Tier 101.
However, we plan to make them available to all users in the end-of-April update.

Announcement:
Next week, no updates are scheduled due to the absence of the lead developer.
During this time, we will be reviewing and refactoring systems such as inputX and other input-related components.
As these tasks are time-consuming, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
