• Stability: Expect crashes. The 32-bit executable has known memory leaks, particularly in the City of Tears and The Hive. After 45–60 minutes of play, save and restart the game to avoid losing progress.
• Missing Content: The GOG legacy version stops at the Hidden Dreams DLC. You get the Dream Gate and Hidden Station, but no Godhome, no Pantheon of Hallownest, and no additional bindings.
• Modding: Forget it. Popular mods like Scarab or Randomizer 4 require 64-bit architecture. The only mods that work are simple sprite-swaps or music replacers.
• Input Lag: The older Unity player has slightly higher input latency. On a CRT monitor with a PS4 controller, it’s fine. On modern LCDs, you may feel a slight "floatiness" in your nail swings.
