　　Game runs at 2x speed on 120hz monitors. This is a bug with the engine & will be fixed as soon as GameMaker Studio 2 updates to fix it.Switching between Fullscreen & Windowed can cause shaders to apply incorrectly. Fix: Restart game with intended screen mode for shaders to apply correctly.Some laptops may run at a slower-than-intended speed.Resolutions lower than 1920x1080 may scale oddly at full screen. Fix: Try running windowed & manually scaling until it improves.
