For the demo, you should run the ‘fifaconfig.exe’ file before launching the game to configure your settings. You can do this by selecting Game Settings when you see this screen: 1) Display Configuration Tips: - Ensure that V-sync is selected - If you have set the game to the highest visual settings and it is not running smoothly, you may want to try reducing or turning of the anti-aliasing (MSAA Options) or reducing the resolution settings until you find one that runs best for your PC. Although it is tempting to select the highest resolution, some PC’s simply don’t have the horsepower to back this up when it comes to playing the game. 2) Keyboard Mapping I’ve seen several keyboard users and threads where there is frustration so I hope this helps to explain.

NOTE: This is the part that seems to be confusing for people as they don’t know what action they are mapping to. I totally understand.
