IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- If the game does not start, freezes, or there are performance problems, then you need to delete the "system.cfg" file in the game folder.
- After the death of the main character, you need to load the game from the main menu in order to avoid problems with the game interface and enemies respawn.

- To run the 64-bit game version via Steam, you need to: select a game in the Steam Library → right-click → select "Properties" → in the appeared window type the launch option: -64bit
Quick Save & Load
The quick save and load functions are bined to the F5 and F9 keys, which can be rebined to your own by changing the key names in the "playercfg.lua" file in the 64-bit game version. To activate the quick save & load functions in the 32-bit game version, you need to open the file "game.cfg" using a text editor, add the following lines and save the changes:
Input:BindCommandToKey("\\save_game","F5",1);
Input:BindCommandToKey("\\load_game","F9",1);
Then right-click on the file "game.cfg" → select “Properties” → set the attribute “Read-only” → click OK button.
