Known Issues

Rendering performance needs to be optimized on Backbone, especially for older GPUs. Some antivirus programs incorrectly classify the "GameAssembly.dll" file as malware and delete it, making the game unplayable. If that happens, please whitelist the "GameAssembly.dll" and "Menace.exe".

  • If the game is installed on HDD drives, loading times are bad and barks are delayed.

    • Display mode "Fullscreen" sometimes behaves not as expected, after minimizing the game. Until this is fixed please consider using "Fullscreen Window" instead.
