Before you report anything
-
Antivirus quarantined a game file? The game ships with a DirectDraw
compatibility layer (a file called
ddraw.dll) that overly eager antivirus products sometimes flag. It is a false positive on a well-known open-source component. Restore the file and add the game folder to your antivirus exclusions. Every file we ship will have its checksum published here so you can verify it. - Colors look washed out or dim? Windows HDR is on. Adjust the “SDR content brightness” slider in Windows HD Color settings, or press Win+Alt+B to toggle HDR while playing.
- Crashes with overlays? Disable Steam, Discord, or RivaTuner overlays for the game. Streamers: use OBS window capture, not game capture.
- Gaming laptop feeling slow? Windows runs classic-era games on the power-saving GPU by design. The game is light enough that this rarely matters, and a high-performance rendering option is planned for machines that need it.
