FAQs

• Why does the window get stuck when it is dragged?

  Because the interface background uses acrylic effect, this problem will occur for some versions of win10. There are three solutions:

  • Upgrade win10 to the latest version.
  • Uncheck the check box of Advanced system settings --> Performance --> Show window contents when dragging.
  • Turn off the option to enable acrylic background in the setting interface.

• Why does the configuration I modified in the settings interface not take effect immediately?

  The modified configuration will take effect at the beginning of the next game.
