CheckThe game is designed for PC first. A couple of quick checks before you load in will make the experience much smoother.

- On Linux, if the game looks unusually dark, go into settings and switch the graphics API.
- If your chat is disabled and you need a lobby code, open settings and turn on 'show lobby code'.
- Check the keybinds screen in settings before your first run and remap anything that feels awkward.
