FIX for Autoscrolling In the Menu With No Input:

Thanks to Vipero07 this issue was found and at least fixed on their machine. If you have this problem, check if you are running vjoy, as the drivers can apparently generate phantom input the game detects. Disable the drivers, reboot, and the issue should go away.

Crashing On Startup Before the Menu FIX:
We have seen some reports of this a few places, and we find it very worrying.

We think the problem resolves itself on a REBOOT, our theory is that the DirectX components that install require it.

ALTERNATE (especially machines with integrated AND dedicated GPUs):
-Make sure you have installed the Direct X 9 redistributable that came with the game
-Force the game to use the dedicated GPU via the video card control panel.


-NOTE: The Intel 4000 HD series integrated cards are not supported as mentioned on the system requirements. Unity appears to have issues with that card. You can try forcing opengl with: -force-opengl in the launch options in windows, but we don't know if it works.

Crash on level transition:
Some machines, especially with low RAM, may experience a crash when transitioning levels. A potential fix if you experience this is to change your texture settings in the VIDEO options to LOW.

If you are affected by this and this helps or doesn't, please let us know.

Once the game starts everything is dark:

This seems to be a directX problem, the following actions have resolved it for some people:
1. First thing to do is try installing try installing this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34429 which is the version of directX you need

2. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card.

3. If those don't work, you can go into The Magic Circle Demo->Properties->General Tab->Set Launch Options and add -force-opengl which makes the game use the openGL renderer and might fix the problem for you.

ENDGAME: PRO WON'T MOVE IN THE LEVEL BUILDER:
I am going to spoiler all this since it is from the end of the game.
There is a rare bug that we haven't been able to reproduce where resetting the level layout during the level building portion can put pro into an unresponsive state.

If this happens, saving your current layout and then closing and reopening the game seems to fix it.

We would also appreciate an email to [e-mail] with any details you can remember about the layout you reset, what pro was doing when you selected "return to edit", if he had died, or if he finished the level. We would like to fix this bug, but we have to be able to make it happen first. Thanks!
