-    `src/game.c:182` calls `game.lowfpsfunc()` through the pointer with no NULL
-    check, on every frame where `game.fps` is under 30 — which includes the
-    first frame, before there is a frame rate to compare against. `akgl_game_init`
-    installs the default; nothing else does.
+    **Fixed in 0.5.0**: `akgl_game_update_fps` installs `akgl_game_lowfps` when
+    it finds the hook `NULL`.
 
-    That matters because `include/akgl/renderer.h` documents the other path on
-    purpose: a host that owns its own window and calls `akgl_render_bind2d`
-    instead of `akgl_render_init2d`. An embedder following that documentation
-    and then calling `akgl_game_update` crashes on frame one. `akbasic` is
-    exactly that embedder.
+    Worth keeping the reasoning. `game.fps` is 0 for the first second of the
+    process, which is under the threshold, so the unguarded call fired on frame
+    one. Only `akgl_game_init` installed the default -- and
+    `include/akgl/renderer.h` documents the other path on purpose: a host that
+    owns its own window calls `akgl_render_2d_bind` instead of
+    `akgl_render_2d_init`. An embedder following that documentation crashed on
+    its first frame, and `akbasic` is exactly that embedder.
 
-    Fix: guard the call, or have `akgl_game_updateFPS` install the default when
-    it finds a NULL. `tests/perf_render.c` installs it by hand as a workaround
-    and points here.
+    `tests/game.c` clears the hook and calls the function, which is precisely
+    that state. `tests/perf_render.c` installed the default by hand as a
