Common Troubleshooting Questions for v015 (Patreon)

"My game crashes when I shoot the shields on the Guard Celdost."
This is caused by your DirectX drivers not being up to date (or not using DirectX at all); to fix this, go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/179113 and follow the instructions there. If you can't install DirectX, or this doesn't fix it for you, from v016 on we'll have a toggle for "shader effects", which is what's causing the problem on your computer, so you can disable it if you continue to have this problem.
"The game freezes at the title screen."
The game actually isn't frozen; you need to press X or Z to continue. v016 will have this text on the title screen, so there's no more confusion on this.
"The game won't start up at all."
Future Fragments is currently designed for PCs only; to run it on say, a Mac, you'd need to have Wine to emulate a PC environment for the game. This will possibly cause troubles (like the shader issue above), though. We unfortunately can't make every demo Mac or Linux compatible, as this would take an exceedingly large amount of time per demo, but the final game (if we reach the goal for it, which we likely will) will be ported to Mac and Linux a little while after it's completed for PCs.
"I can't full-screen the game."
Resolution options were taken out of this build; in v016 onwards, they're back in. We took them out to remedy a small bug that kept happening, and as we didn't want to miss the release deadline, we opted to just not have that feature in instead.
"I can't run and jump and fire at the same time."
This is likely due to your keyboard not allowing that many inputs at once or those specific keys to be pressed all at once; if you press the ESC key, you can reconfigure the controls to allow higher numbers of buttons to be pressed (for example, if your keyboard doesn't allow Z, X, and the right arrow to be pressed at the same time, maybe A, S, and L might work.)
I hope that answers most people's troubleshooting questions about the demo!
