Issues unresolved

Frame rate drops when unplugging controller

If you plug in a controller and then later unplug it, the game will run much, much slower. This is due to the engine and cannot be resolved.[3] Temporary solution listed below.
Common solutions to frame rate drops[3]
  • Plug controller back in.
  • Restart your computer.

Steam overlay sizing

If you are playing with scaling above 1x you may notice the Steam overlay is not positioned correctly and will sometimes display two notifications, one being an extra large render and the other being the standard size notification.
Common solutions to Steam overlay problems[citation needed]
  • Open prefs.ini in the installation folder and experiment with the scale option under [Video Options]. For example, if your screen resolution is 1600x900, try 2.5.
  • Disable Steam overlay
  • Play with 1x scaling

Issues fixed

Audio doesn't work, error defining external function

Reinstall Visual C++[3]

"The file is being accessed by another process" or any other Windows errors on startup

Common solutions to startup errors[3]
Make sure to run the game outside of Dropbox.
Disable anti-virus programs or whitelist the game if they are interfering with the installation folder.

Save files are not synced to or from Steam Cloud on OS X and Linux

Create a symbolic link from the incorrect save file location to the correct location for the platform
The Steam Cloud configuration for the game uses the Windows save data filename and directory.[4]
  1. Run the game at least once to create or synchronize the save data
    • If save data is already present on Steam Cloud and one wishes to keep it, move <path-to-game>/Save.ini to the respective location for the OS being used and rename the file. If not, delete <path-to-game>/Save.ini.
  2. Open a terminal
