2. Known Issues

################################################################################

2.1. Installing Graphics and Motherboard Drivers

If you experience any graphical problems, please install the latest video and
motherboard drivers available for your Graphics Card. Links to the most popular
Graphics Card and motherboard manufacturers are available at the bottom of this
document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. Installing Sound Drivers

drivers available for your sound card. Links to the most popular sound card
manufacturers are available at the bottom of this document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3. Installing DirectX

Child of Light requires DirectX runtime DLLs from June 2010 or later to
run properly. To get the latest version of DirectX, please visit:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

 
DirectX is also provided during the installation procedure. 
 
If you receive an error message about missing DLL files, reinstall DirectX from
the install disc to correct the problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4. Bugs and Comments

* It is _not_ advisable to install the game into the Windows folder (usually
  C:\Windows), a subfolder of the Windows folder, nor the root of the system
  drive (usually C:\).

* It is recommended to close all other running programs before installing the
  game, to reduce the risk of software conflicts.

* If more than one Xbox360 controller is connected, the main character (Aurora) is 
controlled by the keyboard or the first controller.  The second character (Igniculus) 
is controlled by the mouse or the secondary controllers.  The first controller can 
also be used to control the secondary character.  
Note that the keyboard cannot be used at the same time as the first controller.

* The game needs properly installed sound and video drivers or it will fail to 
initialize. Please make sure you have the latest drivers from your sound card and
video card manufacturers installed before you start the game.
