[h1]Playing on Low-End Laptops[/h1] As specified in our system requirements, our game officially does not support laptops that only have integrated graphics card. The reason is that integrated graphics cards somehow fail to properly render our 3D scenes. However, we strive to make the game playable if it does run, even though it might not be graphically appealing. We recently released an [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/375530/announcements/detail/4190113130379812205]update[/url] that allows matches to be played on low-end laptops. However, the game still crashed during penalty kicks. So, we have made the following adjustment: during penalty kicks, the models of the shooter and the goalkeeper are hidden, allowing the weak laptop to render this scene. Of course, this is not visually appealing and may not be very clear how to perform penalties (if you are playing with enabled tutorial, the first time the penalty starts, the messages explain how to shoot and defend during penalties.), but it is a compromise we are willing to make to allow gameplay on devices we did not plan to support. Please note, to make this possible, you need to: - Find and launch config.exe in the game folder - Click Troubleshooting - Check the "Simplified graphics" option [h1]Memory Leak[/h1] We identified and fixed a part of the code that could lead to memory leaks under certain circumstances. Enjoy the game!
