I've played this game all the way through before, and the music is supposed to end at the same time as the races, right? Now on steam, the races have like 115 seconds of dead silence after the song where the race is still going on. Why? Is this fixable?

I just started this game and although I do love spooky season and the halloween event I would like to be able to turn it off/toggle it as I still am figuring out the mechanics/wanna see the og art style etc. for my first run through. Does anyone know how to do that or which line to mess around in in the config or something?...

Please? It's. So. Painfully. SLOOOOW. The slowness gets really annoying since you have to walk to everything, and it's even worse when you can't remember where you are.

I've noticed that my bike damage after a race seems to drop with each new screen I move through. This wasn't happening at the start of the game, but it has been for a while, and I just noticed it for sure. I ended a race with 24% damage. When I went to the mechanic closest to the square, it showed my damage at only 14%. Then when I left the mechanic and checked, it was down to 5%. Back to the mechanic screen, now 0% without spending any money. I certainly don't have any auto-repair bike parts or anything ...

I was wondering if the speed of the game is depending on the difficulty. Watched a stream and it felt like the game was going way slower compared to when I play the game. Also when a race is over it takes a long time to get out of it. I cant skip the scene which is following every, race but in the stream that I saw, after the race was over, the end result popped up just one second after crossing the finish line. And is it possible to change the difficulty settings later in the game or not?...
