FPS & GRAPHICS CARD COMPATIBILITY
Some users have reported errors that may be resolved by adjusting your graphics settings, including situational crashes and FPS-related performance issues on certain systems.
If you encounter such issues, please try the steps below. If you encounter such issues on a system without an NVidia device available, please provide as much information as you can and consider returning the game, as we cannot guarantee a fix that works on all devices.
Of the below steps, Step 5 is intended to resolve crashing issues on certain laptops, while Step 6 is more general and should improve the stability of the game's framerate.
Steps to Improve Performance
1. Open the "NVidia Control Panel" application.
2. Select "Manage 3D Settings" in the sidebar on the left, under the "3D Settings" header.
3. Select the "Program Settings" tab on the right-hand side. (The "Global Settings" tab will likely be open instead by default.)
4. In the "Program Settings" tab, select the AQUAPAZZA application executable under "1. Select a program to customize."
5. In the "Program Settings" tab, select "High-performance NVidia processor" from the dropdown under "2. Select a graphics processor to prioritize for this program." (If this setting appears.)
6. In the "Program Settings" tab, select "ON" and "60FPS" under "Maximum Framerate" in the list of settings available under "3. Specify the settings for this program."
7. Click "Apply" in the bottom-right of the screen in order to save these settings.
8. Launch the game from Steam.
FUTURE PLANS
We apologize for the difficulties that players have had with this release.

We will share more information when these updates can be finalized and become available. We appreciate your continued patience in the meantime.
