Ensured full Randomizer and Archipelago compatibility.
Added a toggle to enable/disable the idle FMV on the title screen. Set "idleMovie" to true to enable. It's false by default to prevent crashes.

The Crown Engine will no longer try to adjust crowns if there is no crown.
The RPC reflects the time correctly and no longer takes 15s to update.
The slot in which Autosave will be made can now be chosen through "reFined.cfg". If left at default, it will use slot #99.
If the slot designated for the Autosave bears a save that isn't marked as an Autosave, it will now search for a viable slot going upwards. For example: The slot is #99, but slots #99-94 are manually made saves. Autosave will be made at slot #93. If slot #99 is marked as an autosave, it will overwrite #99.
Added an option to skip the copyright notices. Set "quickBoot" to "true" in "reFined.cfg".
Instructions:
Update OpenKH to its absolute latest version and reinstall Panacea.
Download "ReFined-v3.00-RC.rar" and extract all the files it contains to the game directory.
Install "KH-ReFined/KH2-MAIN-RESTRUCT" through the OpenKH Mod Manager.

Known Issues:
Summon Portraits in Timeless River are not corrected.
Tutorial Images crash the game on all languages other than English.
If attempting to view the Shortcut Tutorial as Prologue Sora, it will show a DUMMY tutorial instead.
When loading a non-Re:Fined save, Autosave config appears to be set to "Silent" even though it's set to "Disabled".

When Retrying after a Classic Menu whilst the continue state had the Quadratum Menu, it will show the Classic Menu whilst acting like the Quadratum Menu.

If starting a new game in any audio language other than "English", the game will crash.
The Crown Engine will attempt to fix the crowns when in a mid-load menu, clogging the logs.
