## General
* Some anti-virus software may (incorrectly) flag the binaries as malware. If you have concerns, you are free to inspect the included source files and compile on your own.
* Spice will always process keyboard / mouse / gamepad / touch input even if the game does not have focus, as it uses Windows raw input API to directly communicate with input devices for lowest latency.
* Windows XP is unfortunately no longer supported - see [here](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/Compiling-spice2x#compiling-for-winxp) for details.
* Make sure the game contents are not marked as read-only on your filesystem. Having files with read only attribute can lead to game crashes or failures to launch. This commonly happens when a file-sharing program (like torrent clients) is open, or when copying files across filesystems or operating systems (Linux, Mac OS).
* If game crashes with `(AcLayers): (unknown): NotifyShims` on the stack - this is an internal Windows component crashing. Unsure what the exact cause is, but try unchecking `Disable fullscreen optimizations` and other compatibility options in `Properties` dialog for `spice.exe` / `spice64.exe`. Seems to be affecting small number of Windows 11 users.
* No support will be provided for Linux users running with WINE / proton; you're on your own.
## Configurator (spicecfg)
* Spice will always process keyboard / mouse / gamepad / touch input even if the game does not have focus, as it uses Windows raw input API to directly communicate with input devices for lowest latency.
* If `spicecfg.exe` fails to launch or crashes, try running `spice.exe -cfg` or `spice64.exe -cfg` in the command line instead of spicecfg, which launches the configurator but with logging enabled.
* `spicecfg.exe` may fail to launch or be super slow to open while OBS is running. This is due to a bug in OBS that locks the Windows HID APIs. Try turning off OBS temporarily.
