Troubleshooting

• Ensure that all versions of dependencies fit the documentation. etc.(Visual Studio 2019, CMake verson > 3.10)
• If run into problem with executing into the raisimUnity.x86_64 file, ensure that your graphics card driver is compatible with current graphics card. (Cannot use the default open-source graphics card driver nouveau)
• Make sure to use raisimUnity natively and not on a docker.
• If using Linux, install minizip, ffmpeg, and vulkan.
• If drivers don't support vulkan, use raisimUnityOpengl instead of raisimUnisty. Found in raisimUnityOpengl directory.
