Please describe your issue. Provide extensive detail and images if possible.

Everytime I open Freeplay, it displays a long error that goes outside the screen (vertically) and crashes

If you're game is FROZEN and you're playing a web version, press F12 to open up browser dev window, and go to console, and copy-paste whatever red error you're getting

This may be an issue related to your computer's graphics drivers. Can you try checking for driver updates in Windows Update?

Also, if you press CTRL+C, you can copy that error message and paste it into Notepad. This works for many common error message boxes in Windows.

It seems that it's more of an AMD issue than an installed driver issue. Idk really.
