Issues fixed

Game crashing/freezing/stuttering and weird behavior

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.
Increase page file size (Windows 7)[citation needed]
  1. Press Start
  2. Search View advanced system settings and select it
  3. Under Performance press Settings
  4. Under the Advanced tab press Change
  5. 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.
  6. You will need to restart the computer for it to take effect
Disabling fullscreen optimizations (Windows 10)[citation needed]
  1. Right-click RainWorld.exe
  2. Click Properties
  3. Under compatibility section there is a checkbox named "Disable fullscreen optimizations"
  4. Check it
  5. Click Apply, then click OK

Notes

  1. Unity engine build: 4.6.3f1[1]
  2. 2.0 2.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  3. 3.0 3.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/312520/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (312520) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
