Limitations and troubleshooting
- Note that you need Java Runtime Environment 1.5 to run this program. This can be downloaded for free here
- The installer unfortunately only works if your Windows is English. If you have a non-English Windows version, please refer to the readme file.
- Warning! The fact that Atlas allows you to generate maps of up to 400x400, does not mean that you or anyone else will be able to play on such gigantic maps!!
- If you get an error or you can't get the program to run: Please let me know!
- Atlas has not been tested sufficiently on Linux or Macintosh platforms.
