+'''<u>Note</u>:''' For the STEAM version, and on some (low?) computers, the game is simply crashing at startup. Follow these steps to launch the game at a lower resolution:
+'''Step 1'''
+* Go to the Steam library, '''right click on the game''' and then '''Properties'''.
+'''Step 2'''
+* Click on the General menu that is on the left, and then we position ourselves in '''Launch Parameters'''.
+'''Step 3'''
+* Inside the text box, write the following:
+ <code>-w 1280</code>
+'''Step 4'''
+* Restart the game.
+Then, you may need to change the display resolution in the game settings, set everything to low quality, disable all effects, etc.
