FAQ:

• I get " this application wont work on this computer" when running Unity.exe

You don't have all the files from the repository. This Project uses Git Large Files Support (LFS). Downloading a zip file using the green button on Github does not work. You must clone the Project with a version of git that has LFS, or download a zip from the release section. You can download Git LFS here: https://git-lfs.github.com/.

• When installing the DXR Project template I get this error:

This is due to a Windows limitation that can't handle more than 260 character for filename. Use a shorter folder and Project name to allow the template to install correctly. Like "C:\DXR".
