==Issues fixed==
 
===Game crashing/freezing/stuttering and weird behavior===
 
{{ii}} Seems to affect mainly Windows 7 users, most likely because of the game not having access to enough RAM. Freeing up RAM by closing background applications or increasing the page file size may help. Also disabling fullscreen optimizations on Windows 10 may solve stutter issues.

# Press Start
 
# Search '''View advanced system settings''' and select it
 
# Under '''Performance''' press '''Settings'''
 
# Under the '''Advanced''' tab press '''Change'''
 
# Check '''Custom size''' and input your numbers. It is best to put the initial size the same as 'Recommended', and the max size around 1.5-2x that value. Remember to press '''Set''' before pressing '''OK'''.
 
# You will need to restart the computer for it to take effect
