Known issues:

• Some anti-virus software will warn the user of harmful contents when installing the game. This is due to the software not recognizing the puzzlegeddon.exe. We are working with these manufacturers to add the game information to their future software updates. If the warning should appear, it should simply be ignored. Also please contact us at support@puzzlegeddon.com with the details of your anti-virus software
• Issues related to network lag. This can be circumvented by making sure that hosting players have a good (broadband) Internet connection as well as always making sure that network-heavy applications such as Instant Messengers, torrents or downloads do not run in the background
• A rare bug which can prevent the description of certain challenges in DPC to be displayed. This seems to affect combo or chain-related challenges and can be circumvented by creating chains
• Existing games might not appear immediately in the “Find games” screen. This can be eased by waiting a few seconds for games to show up if nothing happens
• The puzzle row indicator can disappear momentarily, the indicator will reset eventually
• A rare bug which can prevent the game from starting with the same resolution as the desktop with Anti-Aliasing switched on. This can be circumvented by disabling AA or lowering the resolution in-game
• A rare bug which can prevent the user from setting the resolution in-game to the native screen resolution
