### My game takes a long time to boot

!!! danger "Warning:"
    First boot after connecting to a network will be very long (>90s)

!!! tip ""
    The game files for Nijiiro consists of thousands of small .bin files, and Windows Defender is known to spend a long time scanning through them during game boot up.  
    One way to massively speed up boot times is to add the entire game folder as a Windows Defender Exception.

!!! danger "Warning:"
    Doing this will prevent Defender from scanning your game folder for viruses. Only do this if you trust the source of your data.

!!! tip ""
    Open `Virus & threat protection`.  
    Under `Virus & threat protection settings` click the `Manage Settings` button.  
    Scroll down to `Exclusions` and click on `Add or remove exclusions`.  
    Click the `Add an exclusion` button, select the `folder` option, navigate to the base of your game install and click `Select Folder`.

### My game is running crazy fast/slow

!!! tip ""
    The game needs to be ran at 120fps or things will break.
    
    If you have a >=120hz display.                                  
    Set your display to 120hz. you may need to make a custom resolution.                                                                              
    In `config.toml` set `vsync =` to `true`.  
     
    If you have a <120hz display.                                                    
    In `config.toml` set `vsync =` to `false`.

### My game is not connected to a network but I set one up

!!! tip ""
    Disable shop close time or you won't always be able to connect to the network.

    Using `F1` `arrow keys` and `ENTER` navigate to `GAME OPTIONS` -> `CLOCK/CLOSE TIME SETTING` -> `SCHEDULE TYPE`.

    If you are still unable to connect that means you have incorrectly configured your `config.toml` or your server.

### My game is still too big/small after setting resolution in `config.toml`

!!! tip ""
    This will happen if you incorrectly set your resolution or scale.

    You can check your display resolution by right clicking your desktop and selecting `Display settings`.

    You can set your scale to `100%` right above where it says your resolution.

    In `NVIDIA Control Panel` set the following settings for `Taiko.exe`.

    Power management mode `Prefer maximum performance`

### Audio
!!! tip ""
    By default the game will use wasapi shared
    
    To use wasapi exclusive disable `wasapi_shared` in `config.toml`.                                                                      
    Copy the audio settings in the screenshot.                                

    To use ASIO disable `wasapi_shared` in `config.toml` and enable `asio`.
    Set your `asio_driver`
