Here is the latest report on the current situation.

• DirectInput Issue
  Similar to the AVX issue, this game does not officially support DirectInput.
  While we are not removing support immediately, we kindly ask users who are using DirectInput devices
  to switch to Steam Input if possible.
  
  
• AVX Issue
  Currently, we are testing AVX-only systems (without AVX2) to allow the game to run,
  but this is causing performance issues for some users on AVX2-capable systems.
  Given that there is nearly a 4x performance difference in processing capability,
  it is difficult to continue supporting both environments equally.
  We kindly ask users to consider upgrading to AVX2-capable hardware if possible.
  
  Additionally, Mac and similar platforms are not officially supported.
  Attempting to support these systems through forced detection could be risky and unstable,
  so for now, we are releasing the game with the understanding that it may not run on such environments.
  We plan to conduct further tests when the timing is appropriate.
  
  
• Spoiler Issues Due to Unauthorized Activity
  We’ve observed that spoiler content from game data analysis is being spread
  through community forums and external sites.
  
  As previously stated, we have no intention of restricting discoveries made
  through players' own legitimate gameplay and skill.
  
  However, data mining and reverse engineering diminish the value of the product?
  and more importantly, they can also undermine the achievements of skilled players,
  which is deeply disappointing.
  
  At the very least, we kindly ask that such unauthorized spoilers not be posted on this community board.
  

Thank you for your understanding.
