Troubleshooting

Some collective wisdom gleaned from the official Discord.
Q. In main menu I just get an endless Connecting... 
A. Try opening up a CMD as administrator and typing:
# `netsh winsock reset`
# `netsh int ip reset`
# `ipconfig /flushdns`
#restart your PC
Q. My steam friend's prospect isn't showing up for me in game 
A. Check:
# The prospect is currently being hosted by your friend
# You are visible to others in Steam
# select the character you wish to play in game
# from the Steam friends list, right click on your friend and select "join game"
Q. When in game its all dark and the time of day never changes from 0:-01 
A. You need to have Steam in online mode. Also; a Steam account that has had less then $5 spent on it has limited functionality and Icarus seems to be dependant on some of this. Put at least $5 in your Steam wallet.
Q. Why is this particular thing not working the way I expect it to? Is anyone else having similar problems? 
A. Check https://icarus.featureupvote.com/ to see if other people are reporting the same issue.
Q. How do I improve my fps? 
A. Try:
# increasing your FOV
# reducing shadows
# use DX11 (DX12 is only needed if you want the RTX lighting features and you need a very high end graphics card for that)
#On Nvidia cards, enabling DLSS makes a huge difference and should always be done.
#On AMD cards, enabling FSR helps (can be used on Nvidia cards too but DLSS is better so use that)
Q. I can't pick up items in my prospect. 
A. Restart your game client
Q. ERROR CODE: Invalid prospect information - 001 Invalid prospect information (from backend/session) 
A. Ensure that the version of the game you are running is the same as the host. You can check game version in the top left corner of the main menu.
