V - Troubleshooting
--------------------

I experience low FPS:
                - Try disabling some of the performance related options in the game options menu (especially 'Use 3D').
                - Close down all unnecessary background applications.
                - Run the game in fullscreen (resolution mode works best).
                - V-sync might drain performance, so turn it off.

I experience multiplayer lag:
                - Your internet connection may be too slow, 512k at least is recommended.
                - The host server may be hosted in a distant location, so you have a high ping. Try another server.
                - The host server may have a slow connection. Try another server.
                - Your router/firewall/antivirus might be blocking connection.
                - Close down all bandwidth draining applications (i.e. downloads, torrents, messenger clients etc).

I experience screen tearing
                - Try enabling V-sync in the game options menu.

I can't log in to Reflect games
                - Reflect games may be experiencing down time, so try again later.
                - You may have connection issues, i.e. your router/firewall/antivirus is blocking connection.

I can't join a LAN server
                - Use the IP connect and enter the correct LAN IP of the host machine.
