WARNING: if you play on UNPROTECTED mode, the error log is unlikley to contain useful info 
if a crash happens, so please play on PROTECTED mode if possible. Only use unprotected mode
if you are having serious performance issues related to CPU.


ATTENTION: If you use Norton or another virus scanner, SCAN THE GAME folder before running it. The engine uses an input method called key polling, which some realtime malware heuristics do not like. Norton is the only scanner we have seen cause trouble however.

Which EXE do I use?

- Try the Protected version first. It is considered more stable and may give diagnostic information if an error happens

- If you are having severe performance problems, try using the unprotected version. Understand that crashes may be more likley however.



The console keeps spitting out RED and YELLOW text... is this a bug?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- probably not, we ran out of time to remove the excess debug outputs. They will be removed in the next release

- report bugs if your game crashes or freezes and you see a big complicated jumble of RED and WHITE text that says STAHP



What happens if the game crashes/has performance issues/I hit a bug
---------------------------------------------

- please send your bug reports to drifterbugsreport@gmail.com

- please send the most recent files from the folder called Engine Error Logs

- please send your computer model, CPU family/model and Graphics card with the report so we can identify problematic hardware



How do I install?
-----------------

- You dont! Just run the game!

- you *may* have to install Microsoft VC++ runtime if you do not already have it (you probably already do)
	- http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

- you may have to install the latest version of DirectX (if you are a regular gamer, you most likley already have this)
