We are a small team with limited Linux knowledge. We've tested the game in Ubuntu 16.04 and SteamOS.

I'm running macOS Catalina and the game is not displaying correctly.
Some MacBook Pro users running macOS Catalina have been reporting display issues.
To get the game running properly. You will have to switch to 'windowed mode' rather than 'full-screen mode' to play.
You can do this by:
- Launching the game and immediately holding the options button
- There will be a checkbox for running the game in windowed mode. Check it and confirm the change.
My game is crashing as soon as I try to run it!
One of the most common causes of crashing is a lack of recent video card drivers. So make sure your drivers are up to date. You can find instructions on how to do that here.If your drivers are up to date, check to see if you have the "Citrix Indirect Display Adapter " driver installed. This driver can cause issues with Unity. We suggest removing it, restarting your computer, and launching the game again.
I hear sound, but the screen is black or turns black shortly after starting!
Make sure to disable any third-party overlays, such as FPS counters. The most common is AMD's Raptr Gaming Evolved overlay, which is often installed as part of your video card driver update. You can find instructions to disable the Raptr overlay here.If you do not have any overlays enabled and are using an AMD mobile graphics chip, you may be able to resolve the problem using the steps found here.
I hear sound and my screen is still black!
Are you running Windows? The 2017 Windows 10 Fall Creators Update has caused users with certain graphics cards to experience this problem with Unity games. Changing the scaling mode of the graphics drivers has fixed this problem for many players.For Nvidia:
- Open the Nvidia Control Panel.
- Under the "Adjust desktop size and position" tab, Select "No scaling".
- * Optional: Selecting the "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" has also worked for some players.
- Open "Radeon Settings".
- Under "Scaling Mode" select "Full Panel".
- Under Control Panel, switch the 'Scaling' option to "Maintain Aspect Ratio".
