I completely understand. I was thinking of it as more of a gift without any binding requirements, but I could see how it could give you a lot of stress.
Thank you so much for putting in all the hours and take a break if you can. I worked as a dev until a year ago too so I know how that desire to get to the bottom of a bug can keep you up till morning. Of course I trust your ability since I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near as complicated as The Medium plus there was a patch for Nioh 1 which uses the same engine.
On that note, there's already a patch out like you said and it works reasonably well (fork of Nioh 1 patch): https://github.com/Filoppi/Nioh2Resolution

I try to avoid accepting offers of this nature, as there is no way to know what's to expect. Every single game has its own code, so one could end up being really complex, while there would be a lot of pressure to complete the fix. It's the fastest way to burning out.

I also have been quite busy with The Medium and the PCGW coverage of Werewolf, putting in many hours of work and hardly getting any sleep as of late. It's a double-edged sword, as I'm also happy with the community interest in this one and the benefits to users of all setups.

Thanks for trusting in my ability to fix the game though. Anything is possible but it's all a matter of time.
On that note, I saw conversations on the WSGF Discord about a Nioh 2 fix being available already, so you may want to look it up.
