Start-up crash on Windows

If the game does not start at all, and instead shows the error message: 

Oops!
The game crashed!
The crash report folder named <timestamp> next to game executable.
It would be great if you'd send it to the developer of the game!
Delete or rename the UNCL.ttf file in the %WINDIR%\Fonts folder. This may affect/apply to other Unity games as well."Oops - The game crashed" :: Breach & Clear Bug Reports - last accessed on 2023-08-16</ref>

Start-up crash on OS X

The issue happens since there is a bug in Unity which crashes the game when started in fullscreen. In order to avoid the crash, the game needs to start in windowed mode.

Edit Schemes.Shadowrun.plist[4]
  1. Open $HOME/Library/Preferences/unity.Harebrained\ Schemes.Shadowrun.plist with a text editor.
  2. Edit the value for
    <key>Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode</key> and
    <key>Settings.IsFullScreen</key> to 0 as seen below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
