Performance Analysis: Running the Update
Build 14344626 is named with a specific internal code (14344626) because of a backend rewrite of the particle engine. The "Violence" layer suffered from significant frame drops on mid-tier GPUs (GTX 1060 / RX 580) during the "storm" sections of 7-4. The Ferryman (Boss): His lightning dashes are no

If you shoot an Idol with a Revolver while sliding, it shatters instantly, but releases a shockwave that damages the player. Previously, you could just shotgun them carelessly. Now, you must respect the Idol's positioning.
