RE9 VR Environment Effect Pause Fix

v1. 2 Update

• []REFramework Nightly compatibility has been improved. This version no longer depends on a single specific Nightly build. However, major internal changes to Nightly may cause compatibility issues. The latest version tested was REF Nightly 01417. [/]

  []Fixed an issue in the v1. 0 test build where the flooded shutter was physically open, but its graphics remained visually closed. [/]

Before installing v1. 2, please completely remove the previous v0. 1 Lua file or the v1. 0 test version. They may conflict with the current version.
