The quest debugger menu can be opened through the debug UI overlay by pressing "**F3**" then  Press "F2" to show the cursor.

 ### Saving
 
 It is recommended that you save often, and that you leave auto saving enabled, especially before scripted events and before finishing a quest. You can use F5 to quicksave.

 ## Q: My game crashes when I open it, or when I connect to a server
 
-**A:** Your CPU needs support for AES-NI (AES New Instructions). The reason why this is needed in the client and server, is because they depend on libsodium lib, which relies on AES. Therefore, we need to wait until libsodium stop relying on AES (which is unlikely), or reimplement some parts with OpenSSL (time consuming).
