A: This is a known problem, play in windowed mode. You can do that by using the setup menu.
Q: The installer is corrupt/broken, please obtain a new copy
A: Redownload and retry. Often there is a fault with browsers not downloading the full file and leaving it corrupted or too much traffic on the servers causing a disconnection and leaving the file incomplete. Try different browsers/download times.

A: It is more difficult than you think to make a multi-language wiki. The most people can read English so English is chosen.
