Critical patches fix progression-blocking bugs, scripting errors, and audio desynchronization in cutscenes.

Only utilize trusted community repositories to avoid corrupted code.

: Maintains a much more consistent 30 FPS, even in demanding areas like the school infiltration.

Dynamic lighting brings the city to life, especially in dimly lit interior areas.

: Use a USB-C cable to connect your Switch to your computer via DBI's MTP responder.
