Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Freedom gameplay, technical issues, and development insights.

Technical Issues

Why Is the Game Not Starting? +

That means that the game may have crashed (usually the game not finding the "lang.txt" file in the download folder, or I made some typo). Sometimes, you may have to re-extract the game or start the game again and everything works correctly.

Why Is the Game Telling Me That My Computer Can't Run Shaders When My Computer Is Recent? +

The game uses a flag provided by GameMaker itself to determine whether the computer is able to run shaders. If your computer is able to run shaders, the game will display just fine, so please disregard the message.

QR Codes Not Recognized! +

Try: Switching in/out of fullscreen, changing the screen brightness, or exiting and re-entering the room. Moving the camera and changing the angle/position may also help.

Game Not Going Fullscreen! +

Usually means something is blocking it. Try clicking on the window, or switching in/out of fullscreen again, or both. Another thing is to try both fullscreen keys as platforms change what keys are used (F4 or F11).
