UPDATE INFORMATION

Thank you for playing ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni!

An issue has been confirmed in the Steam version when playing under the following conditions, resulting in a drop in frame rate:

1) If using an AMD video card, the AMD FreeSync option via “Display” in your PC’s AMD graphics driver settings is set to “ON” or “AMD Optimized”.
2) Vertical Sync is toggled “ON” in the in-game OPTIONS menu.
3) Switch Windows setting is set to “Borderless” in the in-game OPTIONS menu.
4) FPS Limit is set to “30FPS” or “60FPS” in the in-game OPTIONS menu.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to those playing under these conditions and/or settings.
If you are experiencing slow or sluggish game performance, try turning off Vertical Sync via the OPTIONS menu in-game to alleviate this issue. (*Note: AMD FreeSync is set to “ON” or “AMD Optimized”, which should have the same effect as vertical sync. As a result, turning off vertical sync will likely have little impact on the game play in this case.)

We hope you continue to enjoy playing ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni!

  • Fix for bug that sometimes causes Kuuta to fall through the ground

A bug has been confirmed that prevents players from progressing in-game to Mission 2. This issue will be resolved in the soon to be released update patch.

The following steps serve as a temporary fix until the update patch is released.

●Bug Details

This issue occurs when the player attempts to play through Mission 2 with the language set to English, French, German, or Spanish.

Normally, the tutorial should start after the ghost character Kazemaru appears, but in the above languages, the game hangs before the player can reach the tutorial.

●How to Proceed

If you experience this issue before the update patch is released, please follow the steps below.

1) Set the in-game language to one of the following: Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, or Italian.

2) Play until you've reached Mission 2.

3) Once you've regained control of Kuuta, press the + button to open the menu and quit the mission.

4) Switch back to the desired language and proceed to Mission 2 again.

5) Tap the X button twice to skip past the unplayable part and you should be able to proceed to the tutorial.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Your patience while we resolve this issue is greatly appreciated.
