#### Q: What are the system requirements for the editor?
A: The editor will use up to 75% of the available memory of the system. On a computer with 4 GB of RAM this should be enough for smaller Defold projects. For mid-sized or large projects it is recommended to use 6 GB or more of RAM.


#### Q: Are Defold beta versions auto-updating?
A: Yes. The Defold beta editor checks for an update at startup, just like the Defold stable version does.


#### Q: Why am I getting an error saying "java.awt.AWTError: Assistive Technology not found" when launching the editor?
A: This error is related to problems with Java assistive technology such as the [NVDA screen reader](https://www.nvaccess.org/download/). You probably have an `.accessibility.properties` file in your home folder. Remove the file and try launching the editor again. (Note: If you do use any assistive technology and require that file to be present then please reach out to us at info@defold.se to discuss alternative solutions).

Discussed [here on the Defold forum](https://forum.defold.com/t/editor-endless-loading-windows-10-1-2-169-solved/65481/3).


#### Q: Why doesn't the editor start or open my project?
A: Check if there are spaces in the path leading up to the Defold application. For instance, if you put the folder *Defold-macosx* containing the macOS version of the editor in your *Applications* folder, then you should be ok.  If you rename the folder *Defold macosx* the editor might not start anymore. On Windows, putting Defold under *C:\\Program Files\\* can trigger this problem. This is due to a known bug in the underlying Eclipse framework.


#### Q: Why am I getting an error saying "sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed" when launching the editor?
A: This exception occurs when the editor tries to make an https connection but the certificate chain provided by the server cannot be verified.
