[/p][p][/p][h2]Bug Tracker[/h2][h3]1. Controller Not Working for Some Players[/h3]

• [p]This issue has been fixed. Steam was previously forcing the game to emulate controllers using Steam Input, which caused incompatibility for some users.[/p]
• [p]The fix should now be applied automatically.[/p]
• [p]If your controller still doesn’t work, try force quitting Steam and restarting it.[/p]
• [p]As a last resort, consider reinstalling Floorball League 2010.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]2. Game Crashes on Launch[/h3]

• [p]When installing the game through Steam, please allow the Windows pop-up that requests permission to install required components.[/p]

• [p]Visual C++ Redistributable 2008[/p]
• [p]OpenAL 2.0.7.0[/p]
• [p].NET Framework 3.5[/p]

[p][/p][h3]3. Launcher Loop Issue[/h3]

• [p]If the launcher keeps looping, it means the game cannot create the .ini configuration file.[/p]
• [p]To fix this:[/p]

[p]1. Try installing the game on your main drive (C:).
2. If the issue persists:
[/p]

• [p]Navigate to C:/Users/\[Your Username]/AppData/Local[/p]
