The game fails to launch correctly after I click on my desktop icon, what can I do?
If you have a Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating system be sure to update your graphics driver to the latest version. A driver is a small piece of software that controls your computer display. These drivers can be found on the manufacturer website of your graphical card, nvidia, Intel and Ati are the most common ones. You can find their driver pages here:
Nvidia
Intel
Ati (AMD)
Or, alternatively, you can use
Device Doctor to scan your computer hardware for updated drivers for your devices. Device Doctor is a free utility that can be downloaded from

There is a slim version available from their special builds page. On their download page look for the link to "Click here for Builds Page...", from there select "DeviceDoctor_Setup.exe: Device Doctor Bare Install".
The game stops working after a while or after one position what can I do?
Be sure that your system has the latest drivers for you video card ( graphics driver ). If the drivers are updated and the problem persists be sure to close all running programs or background processes like msn, gtalk, downloadsoftware etc.. This is especially true on older or “low-end” computers.
The game runs very slow, what can I do?
Be sure that your system meets the minimum system requirements mentioned on every product page. If your computer does not meet these minimum specifications consider upgrading your computer or videocard.
If your computer meets the “minimum system requirements” and is on the lower side of the spectrum, be sure to close down other programs running in the background. Keeping your system in good condition ( remove spyware, defragment your hardrive,update the drivers, etc.. ) can greatly improve it's overall performance.
