Ratatan Demo v0.3.72 Details Known Issues and Workarounds

Ratatan Demo v0.3.72 lists active bugs affecting audio synchronization, save data playtimes, and French, Italian, and German text rendering, while development continues on fixes.

The development team behind Ratatan has documented a series of known issues in demo version v0.3.72, providing temporary workarounds for audio drift and performance snags.

Performance and Audio Desync

Low frame rates or specific hardware environments can cause the in-game music and rhythm gauge to desynchronize. As a temporary measure, the developers recommend restarting your PC and closing all applications other than Steam and Ratatan. Additionally, background music can play at unintended timings during the tutorial sequence if the pause menu is opened during or before the Melodium event.

Interface and Localization Bugs

Playtime in save data is currently shared across all save slots rather than tracking individually. Localization issues cause certain characters in French to display as box symbols, and text overlaps during the opening cutscene when the language is set to French, Italian, or German. Furthermore, staff credits fail to play correctly if accessed from the Options menu during gameplay.

Rhythm Commands and Gameplay Quirks

When the Rhythm Command setting is configured to Advance, successful rhythm command names fail to display within the rhythm gauge. On the Default setting, Hustle Tech 2, Guard, and Jump commands fail to display correctly despite successful inputs. The camera can also occasionally shift to an unintended position when approaching the Healing Spring on Bad Day on Yeehawler Mountain.

Why this patch matters

This compilation of known issues sets expectations for players experiencing UI bugs, localization text overlaps, and rhythm gauge display errors.
