The game feels slow after a while.

SAFY is a full interactive graphical game that relies on the performance of your local computer. If the performance was OK initially, but feels slow after playing a few times make sure to close other open applications than SAFY. If that doesn't help, restart your computer to free up occupied memory.

The game is slow on my computer.

SAFY is a full interactive and immersive game that relies on your local computer performance. The most important part of your local computer is the graphics card that services your best play experience. If your computer is fairly old or does not have a specific graphics card that supports interactive games it might be advisable to switch computers. Otherwise, the game experience will not get better. SAFY has a built in mechanism to handle limited performance by switching off elements that are not critical to your training. If game experience is still not as expected we advice to switch to a different computer.

I hear background sound, but Bob is not talking to me.

SAFY is a game that can be played without an instructor by your side. The virtual instructor is part of the game. You'll experience this hearing Bob, the narrator in the game who is helping you with instructions and senses when you get stuck in the game. When Bob is talking you will see a message that slides out at the top right of your screen: If you see this message but do not hear Bob talking, something might have gone wrong when downloading Bob's files. To fix this, quit the level (click the hamburger menu in the top right of your screen) and return to the main level selection screen. At the top you will see the language selection button. Click it and select another language. Then click it again and select your own language. This will force the game to download all language files again.
Please note that depending of the speed of your internet connection, this might take a while since audio is a big part of the game that you just forced to download again to your computer. Once finished, restart your level and have fun playing.
