Latest Update - v0.3.3-beta

• The left-side card portrait now follows its own setting, independently of the Cut-in and visual-effects switches.
• All six character skins offer the same three portrait modes: Off, All Supported Cards, and Cut-in Cards Only. Route classification does not depend on whether Cut-in playback is enabled.
• Separates combat sound settings from visual-effects settings and fixes affected ordinary attack sound routes.
• Makes individual settings, Fast/Full presets and Reset behave consistently. Global and teammate switches now stop disabled presentations more consistently.
• Completes Cut-in Cards Only classification using Narja's existing cinematic route rules.
• Applies effect brightness/opacity changes to existing supported effect materials.
• Cosmetic presentation and settings changes; gameplay rules and card balance are unchanged.

• Adds an in-combat cut-in toggle and skips related cinematic loading when cut-ins are disabled.
• Scales defeat CG/effects by viewport height for consistent framing across resolutions.

Settings and Performance

• Settings are inside the in-game CZN Mod Config page. ModConfig is not required.
• For lower visual load, disable extra particles or global combat effects.
• If the game feels unstable with high-effect skins, try a 60 FPS cap first. You can also test --rendering-driver opengl3.
• Disable combat speed-up mods before testing or reporting an issue.
• First-use animation stutter can occur while assets enter memory cache.

Multiplayer - teammate presentation: the in-game CZN Mod Config > Teammate Presentation page controls whether teammates use character-mod presentation, plus their full-screen attacks, attack timing, combat effects, and effect sounds. If combat stutters with several teammates, turn the full-screen options off first.



Rendering driver: if the game is unstable with high-effect skins, set
--rendering-driver opengl3in Steam - right-click Slay the Spire 2 > Properties > General > Launch Options.
