Known issues

• Enabling the Texture Combiner will result in lighting being broken in game. It's suggested to keep it off.
• When a lot of sounds are played simultaneously, framerate can hinder a bit (down to 30-40 fps).
• Music playback and sounds sometime can go out of sync and/or repeat small chunks (This is due to a bug in fluidsynth).
